looks like the bottom section of a 81 mm illumination mortar.
I agree with MINENAZ16, what you have is the bottom part of a belgian 71mm Tk ILL M83BG.
On my picture, look the difference of tail between the sweden 71 mm Lyran (left) and the belgian 71 mm M83Bg (right).
The blue color of your second part will effectively indicate a practice one, if practice is common with illuminating projectiles. I'm not sure if they are other payloads in this specifical calibre !
May be.......
May the force be with you :hello::hello::hello::hello: !
