WW1 Dummy Training Grenade

First post in a long while, apologies for my absence.
Recently acquired this grenade dated 1916. Complete with spring, striker, fuse (inert) and inner case.
Base plate reads N0 5.1 Dummy for throwing practice, S.B. & Co ltd 1916.
Does anyone have any info on SB Co ltd? Can't find anything on the net?
Would be nice to know where this was made?

Siemens Bros & Co. Ltd, Woolwich, & Caxton House, Westminster.

An excellent example there. Great find.

Thanks for that much appreciated. It was one of those come and buy me moments when I found this in a collectibles/antiques shop. It was marked down as a paperweight? Some paperweight? I've added a picture of the casting marks also.

Green with envy! I've had a grenade with the same cast mark as that. John
