With no nomenclature, it is hard to be 100%, but they look like the Mk 7 dispensers usually identified for Rockeye antiarmor submunitions, but the dispenser can be identified/used for other items such as CBU-59 Rockeye, CBU-78 GATOR mine, SUU-75/CBU-99 Rockeye, SUU-76/CBU-100 GATOR, PDU-5/B Propaganda Leaflet. The dispenser was developed in the 60's, fielded in 68 and has been used from Vietnam to present day.
