4.5" Box

[ron3350]

Another box from a shop.
I ask what 4.5" projectiles? were in this box.
Only one side has print. It has P 721 on the end. Lid is not hinged.

Dimensions are: 26" x 12" x 7.5". (660x310x190mm).
Inside dimensions: 610x270x140mm.
There are 2 wooden slats inside so it held 2 rounds. Any information is welcome.
