Use of No. 68 AT-Grenade and the No. 36M Mk I Grenade with Gas check by frontline troops post 1943

Hello,

Am I correct that the No. 68 AT-Grenade and the No. 36M Mk I Grenade with Gas check fired from a strengthened Lee Enfield SMLE with 2.5-inch Cup Discharger (E.Y. Rifle) was removed for use by frontline troops in 1943 and only used by the Home Guard? The successor for the No. 68 was the PIAT.

The normal infantry rifle after 1941 became the Lee Enfield No. 4 and that had no possibility to attach the Cup Discharger. As far as I know the No. 68 AT Grenade was not made after 1943 and there gas check not after 1940

Greetings - Antoon
