Grenade ID help

Lately we have had multiple responses to hand grenades, ranging from early WWI to current. Big thanks to all who post and the great moderators in this forum, I can honestly say you guys have made me much smarter!

I may have overlooked the info I am searching for and if so please send me to the right direction. I am looking particularly at fragmentation grenades. Is there a list with descriptions to make sense of the different markings which are cast into the bodies of the grenades (i.e. CF, F1, Mk1 Mk2)?
 
So it continues. Here are today's finds. Yet another (assuming) French grenade with the letters "R" and "S" cast into it.
