I dont believe there are any differences, only that some WW1 36 have the date stamped on the body.

1st ww 36 mills will hase a brass filler screw and brass or aluminium centre piece and a steel or cast iron base plug. All these parts on the 2nd ww grenade will be made from zinc and have a Z stamped on them. the bodys will be identical except for cast markings on the front.
cheers, paul.

Hi Paul,
as you know I'm not a grenade man,but I'm sure I have come across WW2 dated cast iron base plugs before now?

All the best
Tony

yes, there are the odd ones that turn up, and brass ones but they are all clearly dated.
cheers, paul.
