WW1 German training grenades?

I recently received several grenades including these two which have been painted red. There appears to be a dark shellac under the red paint which I assume is the original finish. Both grenades have identical paint and wear, which seems unlikely if the paint is original. What does everyone think, are these original training grenades or have they been refinished at some point?
