Chemring Smoke Grenade Box

I found this box at the militaria shop but only took photos.
The Red smoke grenades are UK made and shipped to Chemring Australia, Lara, Victoria (near Geelong and Melbourne).
I understood that Chemring made grenades but maybe they only imported them from pains-Wessex?
They now have contracts with ADI.

Any info on the type of grenade in this box is appreciated. What is Prac A/R Red? What does A/R mean?

Yes. I believe the N225 is the CS version (as used by Hong Kong police last year, surprising that their anti-riot pyro' is western supplied) N227 & N229 are the Practice versions in red smoke and white smoke, respectively.

In the UK at least, Chemring's military pyrotechnics division is once again Pains Wessex (PW Defence Ltd.). https://www.chemring.co.uk/media/press-releases/2019/24-06-2019

N225 Red Riot Rubber Grenade.jpgI found a photo of the N225 red rubber bursting grenade with help from this forum. Blown up photo so a bit blurred.
Who has a photo of the practice grenade?
