any ideas

Not sure that it is for munitions. The wired down screws would not normally be done for a munitions pieces, but likely the piece was intended to stay on or near an aircraft. Wiring them down keeps them from being sucked into an engine or something similar.
 
Hi US-Subs,
I'm 99.9% sure that it is munitions related due to it's location of recovery and very likely within a A/T role,one more bit of info,all the bolts have sheared and looks if they were designed to.

Should be an interesting piece then.... Seems a bit over-engineered for end caps -
 
I dont'n know, but it seems linked to a some type of scatterable AT landmine such as AT-2 or PT Mi-D1 or similar item.

Years ago I worked with AT-2s being ejected from MLRS, there were tubes, but they had nothing like this. Any ejection charge designed to shear 6 bolts is going to be pretty healthy - anything inside would have to be pretty robust or well protected.
