Danish 81mm mortar projectile

Hello,
What means the black band on this Danish 81mm M31/49 ?
I know the yellow band on grey body for HE and smoke.

Yellow band on grey body is HE or smh. I suppose before NATO markings ?

Nato will be yellow band on green body for HE and yellow band on grey body for Smk-WP

From a danish friend, black band is for black powder. Your shell is a kind of exercice projectile (practice)
And this marking is effectively before NATO marking on danish ammunition.
