i have been fortunate to see one of these in the flesh, only once, from memory its a standard piat HE with explosive removed and in its place is a No80 Phos grenade ofcause it is marked up like a Phos munition of the late WW2, always wanted one never got.
did it look a bit like a No 87 grenade (rifle)?
no it was a HE piat with No80 in explosive cavity, the No80 fits exactly inside, i made sure with my examples once back with my collection.
That's very interesting, and good to know. Maybe easier to do than fill the PIAT projectile with WP. Thank you.
Also experimental smoke projectiles with 2in smoke mortar rounds
