The No 77 grenade was instantaneous smoke being WP filled. All of the smoke grenade bodies (No 77, No 79, No 80, No 81 and No 83) where painted green. So the metal transit containers were green also to readily identify the contents as being smoke related. You'll see this with mortar bomb bodies and containers if smoke pattern as well.
Your box there isn't all that common today. No 36 "Mills Bomb" grenade wooden crates are far more available so don't let someone talk you out of it too cheaply.
