EM/NCO troddel question

[mchapman]

Gents,  is this a wartime private purchase troddel?   At present I dont have any book reference to work from,  just what I can find searching forums, although I haven't found anything that would match the one I am showing here. 

In the photos it appeared to be more grey... in hand its more grey/green.   Im a bit stumped,  your feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks!!
