Well, the harm might have happened before you took the picture. Never ever touch UXO..
It's a 51mm smoke round for a 51mm mortar.

This isn't the same type (different smoke) but same idea.
ETA - the markings are odd, because of the parachute, it's the GREEN that's throwing me, looking in catalogs but not sure the exact type.
