More improvised Japanese grenades

Nice. Here are three more types of Japanese improvised grenade. The first picture is of a Mindineo found Japanese improvised grenade, next to it is a Luzon gas pipe grenade. The second is a grenade Identified in manuals as Okinawa made. The third is a Pipe grenade that came from the Phillipines. The last type is narrower and slightly taller than most pipe grenades and probably once had a wood cap and wick.
