Unknown stick grenade cutaway

I just picked up this cutaway stick grenade and I'm wondering if anyone has seen this type before and can help ID it? The overall length is 270mm and the diameter of the head is 70mm. Some of the parts that house the percussion mechanism and time fuze are actually grey plastic, though they look like metal in the pics. The wood handle is crude and looks like it may have been hand carved, though this might be only because it is a sectioned model. It looks like it was mounted to a display at one point, as there is an area on the head that looks like it might have been glued to something. Any help would be appreciated, but I hope people will find it interesting either way. Regards, Rob

A time fuze initiated by traction (not a friction strip), I only see that in smoke pots an some baltic grenades.
More, the concave head make me think about an anti tank device, but can't see nothig to fix the grenade to the tank.
