Hello Michael,

I can not tell you anything about use of smoke grenades by the infantry but I know that the 12th Manitoba Dragoons had them in their Staghound armored cars.
These 2 inch grenades were launched from a projector named "Bombthrower 2in Mk 1" (or Mk1A) which was mounted in the forward right side of the turret.

It was mentioned for producing cover in case they had to retreat suddenly in face of the enemy.
There have been some of these cases.

Best regards,
