They make a reappearance in "The Empty Parachute" (Season 5, Episode 11). The prop people apparently did not do much research on how the actual Model 24 works, so the cord with which the grenade is primed is not kept within the handle, but is attached to the head of the grenade (the "Pot").

Colonel Hogan (Bob Crane) holds one of the training grenades. Note the hook, so the actors could carry them around on their belts.
