Stephen,
I measured my locker yesterday and it is the same 8 1/2" deep as yours so 2" bombs will definitely not fit in end ways. the only realistic fit would be sideways as your photo shows. If the 3 bomb carrier in the photo (marked 3) is an original or a faithful repro I guess that is how they must have been stored, unless anyone else knows better?

Default 2" Mortar

Thanks Mike
At least that means mine is ok. I have never seen any of those 3 bomb carriers before either so will have to see what comes up.

Cheers Stephen
