Russian grenade Identification help

Found! I've asked at the Cambodian Demine Group; the grenade is a Vietnamense defensive grenade Type LC79; 56mm, 210gr, plastic body and steel balls.
 
The cambodian language is completely different than the vietnamese one. Vietnamese is a tonal language with 6 different tones, that originated in china and uses the Latin alphabet. Cambodian is from the malay-indian language family and has no tones and uses a modified Thai alphabet.
The 10 years of vietnamese occupation and the ensuing 7 year civil war would account for their existance in cambodia.
