Shots below of the standard two round wooden crate for holding 4.2" mortar rounds and the metal backpack that held three rounds. Both items need restoration but are back burner projects for now. The two rounds in the crate are 1944 production and have no fuzes in them. Fuzes and the launching cartridges in a tin would account for the open space in the crate at one end.
