Field Pieces - Info Needed - Thanks

Hello All,
Picked these three pieces up over the weekend, don’t know much about them, hope some members can help me out with some information.(1) ½ litre water canteen produced by Cloeter dated 1909 stamped M.D.4 run the name Cloeter through google - nothing. Is it a WW1 military piece? if so what’s M.D.4 ?- on the flat side is engraved in Russian, is a persons name, where he came from and the date 1941 - any Russian readers out there to give his name & town. (2) Joined folk & spoon think its WW1 but is stamped H.H.L. 40 any info on period or maker appreciated. (3) Bullet packaging dated 1943 think bullets were for hunting, they look a bit on the small side for the Wehrmacht. Any information welcome.
Best Wishes

Need help! Unknown mortar round

Somebody gave me this strange mortar round he had found on the attic. It seems somebody at one point has converted it into a lamp! Complete with wiring and a switch.
Well, never seen that been done before, but it took me over an hour to grind away the six welds that was holding it to a plate.
The tail piece is marked 2 7 5 9 DHP 1932, and the mortar is marked PDT 1932 42 45 A
Under the olivedrab paint there is some blue color on the top half (please don't tell me it's a practice round due to the blue paint :D)
and it has three strange holes in the side (smoke?).
I think it's something French, in any case it doesn't look like the German 8cm Wurf Granate, or the 3" American mortar rounds I have.
Anybody got a clue what it is?
Anyway, added a pic how it looks like after a good hour of grinding and cleaning!
