1 hr confidence:   peer agreement (net): +1 tracer (high explosive) shell
Explanation:
spårljus = tracer
spränggranat = high explosive shell
Had trouble finding anyone using the full Swedish term altogether though. One site mentioned "Spårljusspränggranat" in a catalogue of Swedish WWII munitions and suggested it had a corkscrew appearance (I presume when fired). But I couldn't find any definitive sources
"sporlysgranat" is a "tracer shell" and "sprenggranat" a "common shell" in my Norsk-engelsk militær ordbok (ed. Olav Ark).
