The standard Reuleaux triangle is not smooth, but the three points of tangential discontinuity can be smoothed as in the figure below (left), from the Wikipedia article. However, it is unclear (to me) from this diagram whether the curve is $C^2$ or $C^\infty$.

Meissner’s tetrahedron is a 3D body of constant width, but it is not smooth, as is evident in the right figure below.

My question is:

Are there $C^\infty$ constant-width bodies in $\mathbb{R}^d$ (other than the spheres)?

The image of Meissner’s tetrahedron above is taken from the impressive work of Thomas Lachand–Robert and Edouard Oudet, "Bodies of constant width in arbitrary dimension" (Math. Nachr. 280, No. 7, 740-750 (2007); pre-publication PDF here). Here is a link to Wayback Machine.)

I suspect the answer to my question is known, in which case a reference would suffice. Thanks!

Addendum. Thanks to the knowledgeable (and rapid!) answers by Gerry, Anton, and Andrey, my question is completely answered—I am grateful!!
