SMK or CHEM ?

Looks a little like a smoke discharger can froma Base Ejecting smoke shell but it is unusual to find them in Alloy-Chemical discharger perhaps ?

If its chemical it's pretty rare - not something typical of German, US, UK or Italy.

Very similar appearance to German WW2 color smoke signals but dimensions do not quite fit.

You write was I was thinking.
German Landungsrauchzeichen, or maybe better, a Rauchsichtzeichen.
Similar emission holes?

Any traces of paint or paper label?

Hello,
there have also been such smoke signals for the Bundeswehr, so would say it depends were it was found.

Hello Erik,

It seems you've got it there.
Looks identical.
Well done.

It is indeed a teargas grenade which is also in use in the Dutch army.

Sorry made a litle mistake, In the dutch army we use a teargas grenade that has the same shape as the rauchkorper MT-LB posted.
The link to lexpevs site shows the teargas.
