From what i can find out the ones with fuse housing like yours are early models of the RGD and i have also found these on the Winter War battlefields in Finland but the one i have shown is the first i have seen with two holes in the top ,
 
Hello. This is an early type of RGD-33. The handle is most likely a later one, produced by the Severny Press plant, Leningrad. There is a lightweight protective cover on the body. Steel sheet thickness.
