ammo boxes?

[rmarg-jim]

Some Items from the RMARG collection. The fellow who origionally owned most of these has passed on, so we don't know what half of it is any more. Any help would be appreciated- further photos can be provided, but may take a week or so.

Metal one is ww2 dated- mortar bombs?
Leather one is possibly a magazine carrier?
Wooden one- no idea, probably not Ord?

Thanks,
Jim.

The metal box is a C.206 mk I for 25 pdr shells.

I don't know what the wooden tube is but judging by the 6A/3945 part number it is RAF
