All these nades are pictured in Dimitar's book 'Bulgarian and German Hand Grenades Vol 2' i'm quite sure he has a lot more info on them.
 
GHO-1 smooth body - Offensive grenade - 280 grams, filling 58 grams A-IX-1, igniter DVM or FD-1, fuze delay 3.2-4.2 seconds, 5m Radius range

TGG-01 it's about 9inches long and 40 mm in diameter - tear gas grenade,


And a FUWG-0.75 underwater 2 piece. ( I dont have any info on this type....)

'Bulgarian and German Hand Grenades Vol 2' is a great book but is in russian with english subtitles....
Darryl Lynn's The grenade recognition manual (Vol. 3 Warsaw Pact) is very good as well...
