The shell supports question

[Endel]

Hi all!
Does anyone please have a drawing or picture about the shell supports for this attached crate?
Its not easy to find any information about the Russian crates at all.

Thanks

hello Endel sorry i cannot find anything that compares with your box,the only 76.2 russian images/drawings i have show similar but not correct boxes with 6 rounds

 

[Endel]

Many thanks, spotter! I can compare your showed drawings with my box supports marks and maybe there has been the same constitution. I have a plan to make a new supports, but only visible (bleached) marks are not sufficient.
German crates usually have had the same construction, but i am baffled about the Soviet crates, there are no screw or glue marks, the supports are not fixed.

Here is a final results on the attached picture. Now i can understand, supports of Russian crates have also some similarities.

Next project is a crate for 45 mm AT rounds.

Here is a captured ammo box for the 45 mm Sprgr.Patr. 184, originally for the russian AT Gun M1937.

Unknown support again, this time German. For six projectile, could be from 37 mm to 45 mm?

Markings on the side:

=?= RR 493
1939

Any ideas?

One more version of russian supports. It`s the same crate for the 76,2 mm projectiles (UOF - 354M), but this time it has a little pit different support placement.

Maybe someone has the same case with supports of russian ammo crates as i have had, so i`m going on here.

Crate for russian 82 mm mortar shells.

Here is a box for the same mines, with the little different supports.
