I have mis-placed my 1938? manual but the Mk1 Smoke 3" mortar had 2 bands and a filling plug covering the charge hole for the phosphorous. Bursting type mortar.
Usually a 152 fuze. The base eject smoke rounds came in 1945. I do not have mk1 smoke mortar, only the later sky-trail base eject types.

Apologies I don't know how to rotate the images on here. The three images above are scans from DWS Notes on Ammunition Issue No 15 Mortar Bombs Section 1, print dated October 1942.
