Bomb fuse gaine container

Last of my finds is a rather fragile but complete gaine container
Very thin tin or zinc container with some Waff marks on the bottom
and a date on the top.
Seems to be the right height for regular gaine pots.

as bloome mention, it is strange indeed, the one from satan18 has only 4 slots, the rest posted here have 5 slots.
 
Whet do they fit ?

What were these "Gain's" fitted to ?

Must have been a popular munition as a few of you have large amounts of them !
