I have been asked to help with the ID of some German and 2 Hungarian Grenades, a subject about which I know very little. My thoughts are that the German items are replicas and the Hungarian originals. Pictures below. Any guidance on these would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Sounds correct based on appearance. The best way to tell on the German pieces is to look inside at the construction, as compared to actual items. It is harder to fake the internal parts and less work is typically done by those faking these.
