Hand Grenades

F1 hand grenade

In several scenes "pineapple"-style hand grenades are seen. They resemble Soviet F-1 hand grenades but in one scene Latin "V" and "P" letters are clearly seen on a grenade. Such inscriptions are typical for French F1 hand grenades. The general outlook also better matches French F1 of WW1 pattern (Mle 1915). So the screen used grenades are most likely French F1s equipped with Soviet Koveshnikov fuze. Such combinations were really used in Red Army in 1920s.
