PV-1 Ventura Ammo Feed Can and 152mm Crate

Found a couple of cool ones this past week...

1st up an 225 .50 cal ammo feed can for the Navy PV-1 Ventura Patrol Bomber...not sure if it was used in the dorsal Martin twin .50 turret (although I see 100 round feed boxes in references for that) or the fixed in the nose guns on the boat busting variant...nice data plate, leaves no mystery as to what it is...:tinysmile_classes_t

2nd is one I have never seen before either, a crate for an XM409E5 152mm HEAT-T-MP round for the M551 Sheridan tank, 1969 dated...I assume MP is for Multi-Purpose?

In any case happy to add a couple of new ones to the collection...
