Cool. Never seen a Canadian one. Is that base just for display or actually part of the grenade?
Here's a couple of mine..

They made a grenade luancher that fitted on top of an enfield rifle, need the disc to hold it correctly and take the impact of launch, see below link

So that could be a 'gas check plate'..
