I just came up with another idea. Seems like a far simpler one, using just CSG.
(No code this time, just the general idea.)

1) An elongated sphere.
2) The vertical and horizontal indents are initially torri with small minor
radii (and stretched to match the shape of the elongated sphere); multiple
copies are then differenced from the sphere. This should give it the overall
'pineapple' look, with rounded grooves.
3) A 'fatter' torus is then differenced, to cut away the top curve of the
grenade.

The only drawback I see is that the pineapple chunks will have sharp edges all
around their outside surfaces. Not good. The soldier would have to handle the
grenade with gloves!
