Unknown grenade body, can anyone help?

Got this recently on SA.

Its a very rough cast gren body, well segmented. i dont know whether its an original gren body or a rough cast copy. It is just over 3 1/4 ins [85 mm] in length by just under 2 1/2 ins [64 mm] in width. It weight 1 lb 6 oz [620 grams] so is quite heavy for its size.

Any ideas?

Thanks for that Paul.

I have a feeling its a home made jobbie, all the other bits were and i think it would have worked too.
