There are quite many variations of Finnish smoke- and incendiary grenades and I don't have manuals of them all. However sytematically thinking this must be some version of incendiary grenade M/43 or M/44. Red stripre is definely for incendiary, just grey or grey with light grey stripe would indicate smoke.
Depending of type this could be filled with incendiary liquid soaked in cellulose, or jellified fuel + thermite.
