Reminds me of WWI/II Italian, some German(as the potatoe masher wasn't the only type they made), French and Greek designs, not all of which came in OD, especially during war time.

Not far off. That is a Mills grenade or Mill's bomb. Manufactured in England around 1915, and used in service till early 1970's.
