WWII US Smoke and Thermite grenades

Just acquired these scarce grenades. I had been waiting years to find a WWII smoke, ended up with two smokes and a thermite all in one day.

I'd love to see other collectors examples.
 
They look nice, are they inert (yet)? Keep in mind that smoke and incendiary fall under ATF regulated items and must be inert unless you've got the necessary paperwork. Word has it that they always have been on the "list" but as such were not strongly enforced until they became a problem. Practice grenades with live fuzes also fall under the requirement.

A work in progress. We've got a few new pieces, I need to update the photos.
