It is a German Supply container, the only thing you are missing is the parachute, regards Ben
Did these things have nomenclatures?

Your container is similar to the container on the first diagram, designation : Mischlastabwurfbehälter mit Zubehör Fl 29601
I'm sure there are a lot of variants of this container and I don't know if it's exactly the same. Nothing closer in my doc.

There were tens of different containers, also different shape and size, but each had it's own Fl-number depending for which purpose the internal rack were built. I have a copy of L.Dv.T.g.5207 "Verlastung von Waffen und Geräte der Fallschirmtruppe". The book has 284 pages - and your type is still missing from book!
Interesting ... well at least this is something new. Makes life interesting.
