Drop Container help

Nevcer heard of a German Drop "container 30" - the German drop contyainer were generally named after their weight capacity (Mischlastabwurfbehälter 250, Mischlastabwurfbehälter 1000, Abwurfbehälter 700, ....)
However there was a full list of variations of the Fallschirmjagers's Abwurfbehalter (wooden or steel caisson) designated by numbers Fl296XX where the XX numerals desunated the specific variaton. There was indeed a "variation 30" - Fl29630 but I have never seen it called as such "container 30"
