I would like to know the country, maker and year of this grenade that is possibly Chinese?
It has a black plastic body with a 6mm hole in the base. Is it a re-usable Practice grenade or does it disintegrate?

Fuze is stamped: DRH182A 04 - 15 - 9624 . Lever is stamped DSS161 90 - 18 - 632.
Length is 95mm. Body is 48mm wide.

I've not gone into the whole Chinese nomenclature system, but DSS161 is likely the designation for the practice hand grenade, whilst DRH182A likely refers to the fuze.
 
It is a practice not-reusable grenade made in China by JunPeng Special Equipment Co. Ltd.
Model DSS161 ; 48mm x 95mm x 255g
Fuze DRH182A delay 3,5-4,5 s
At detonation the grenade produce an audible sound and a small smoke. Safety distance 3m202103310833046829.jpg
