I think with most of these it would be an all-weather match rather than the normal-looking one there; like I said, I can't find any information on it one way or the other but Pandofini's comment implied that the No 1 or 2 used a match like the Finnish ones did. I guess it could go in that potential "other weapons" page if we ever got one that was a decent mock-up of a real production model, though.

Basically my take on this is I don't think a glass-bodied grenade fundamentally doesn't qualify, but I don't think this one does because one ID is very weak (I can't verify that the No 1 / 2 used a match and I doubt it's the right kind of match anyway) and the other seems to be using a cigarette instead of an igniter.
