First World War Artefacts

Can anybody identify these items. Uncovered during civil engineering work in France recently. Cleared by EOD on site. Helmets included in the photo to give scale id1.jpg DSC_0132.jpg
 
I think I might have answered my own question. The tins are for holding no.3 Grenade detonators. Long shot, but does anybody have a picture of one? It was the tin cylinder no.121 (thanks to Norman & Rick Landers for this info).
 
Hope this is of some use. I think this maybe one of Snufkin's images (apologies if so) although I have a paper version somewhere.
