Bulgarian RGO-78?

Grenadier - do you have the gren yourself or is it just a pic you have found?

The RGO-78 is defensive with a thick steel body which I didn't think would squash/dent like that as would the RGD-5 with thin body??
 
It looks the size of the old RGO/RGN but the crimp appears different.

Almost the same was the situation with RGO-78 - following is its prototype (RG-100), which again is more "bulbous" than its successor.
