Does anyone recognize these items as part of Bofors rounds-packaging (probably US Army WWII)?

I always wondered what they were for.
I have four if anyone is interested.

I have seen quite a number of these pieces of pressed tin with 4 holes in the Darwin area.
As I understand it, they are designed to hold the 4 Bofors projectiles firmly whilst they are stored in their 4 round clips in an ammo crate. They are removed prior to loading the clip into the gun. The ones I have seen are slightly curved to match the spacing of the rounds in the clip. Happy to be corrected if this isn't their real use. Jared |
