Brass plug

Got this at Chatham from a box of WW1 relics. Solid brass, diameter 60mm. Looks like something I've seen described as a filler cap for a bomb. Does anyone have any further information?

transit plug

These were transport caps for the shells to keep them safe until the fuze was screwed on. I've seen other British ones with a slotted head for removing the cap. That's about all I know about them..Dano
