Unknown 40mm grenade?

[Rocket Doctor]

Attached link is to image extract from video posted by IS showing drone dropped munition. Such 'bombs' are often modified 40mm grenades or similar - can anyone positively identify whether this is another 40mm grenade, or something else, please?

Thanks.

Not wishing to cloud the issue - however, there are some better images here -

There is at least one decent intel doc out on this now, it seems that of the 3-4 main pieces used most are improvised, but at least one uses US 40mm HEDP, M430A1 grenades. They reportedly arm the fuze manually before loading it into the drone.

according to recent intels , most of thoses grenades are modified from regular 40mm HE grenade , or home made for thoses with white plastic tail . thoses can be fired from a grenade laucher mounted on a AK 47 , heither droped from UAV
they have molds and semi industrial capacities to make thoses plastics tails

some are heither made with a tail made of a badbington shuttlecock , and 40mm HE grenade

That didn't take long. Anything for a buck.
