The empties have had to be turned in to be counted at the ASA at the end of a range day for quite some time now. Same goes for any other pre-packaged/all-in-one (Fire and Forget) ordinance like M72s (Tubes) or DM-21s (Fuse Containers) etc. Considering how many of these showed up on the Mohawk side of Oka, i'm betting there is a good chance it has a US criminal past. Food for thought.
