Yellow one looks to be French WW2 mle 1937 defensive the blue one looks to have had the crap kicked out of it or could be a rough homemade cast job ????

The yellow one is French as was pointed out already, but the other one looks like it's probably a jungle-made VC type. If so, it probably doesn't have a name or model number. They made grenades out of whatever they could find, sometimes even using US fuzes like this one. The body could be made out of anything, even concrete. Hard to tell from this pic. They were sometimes very crude-looking. I've heard there's a lot of fakes of jungle-made VC grenades out there too, since it's easy to fake something that was cobbled together by hand and real ones sell for high prices to collectors.
