Default 2" Mortar bomb storage

In the gunners foot well of my No2 Mk2* carrier their is a locker which is stencilled '5 - 4" smoke generators with cartridges and covers or 6 - 2" mortar bombs'. While I cannot be sure that the stencilling is correct I understand that the locker is for this use. What I am trying to find out is how were the 2" mortar bombs fitted in, I am sure they did not leave them loose so assume they might have had a lining similar to the cardboard tubes used for carrying the bombs by infantry. Does anyone have more detail of the internal fit of this locker?
