Good catch Colin, my google search did not come up with that. They are a different pattern to the Cdn Bofors as I have those. I have since found a thread on the G503 where they are also for the 37mm guns. I guess it would make sense for the Americans to use something already in their system as opposed to adding a new item to do the same job.
It also makes sense that they would be in a surplus store in this area. The artillery here were using the Bofors into the 80s for the air defense role.
