I was doing some research on ordnance items used by US Navy SEALs and Special Forces when I came across this picture. The grenade I am sure is the Napalm grenade designed at China Lake - yes it was your basic fill with gas and gel type napalm. It is the grenade to the right that I can not ID NWC 8.jpgNWC 9.jpg I threw in another picture of grenades designed for SEAL use, am still investigating them
 
The M18 style item on the right in the second photo is likely the Tiara grenade, which was a marking grenade that used an early type of chemical luminescence, like the current chem-sticks. It was developed about the same time as the napalm grenade and shows up in some of the same documents.
 
Thanks Jeff forgot about that one I have a small doc on it. Still looking the smaller grenade of course
