These figures are incorrect. Swedish grenadiers wear normal tricorne hats. The only difference between a grenadier battalion and an ordinary battalion is that grenadiers don't have pikemen.

According to Hoglund and Sallnas in the excellent "The Great Northern War", some Swedish units did wear grenadier mitres. However they same book does say that the grenadier battalion of the Livegardet wore hats.

The latest is that a few grenadiers of units had grenadier hats but it is not certain they ever wore them in action - they were probably just for parades, etc. None of the grenadier battalions, the subject of the thread, had grenadier hats.
