Default 2 pounder ammo can

Hi Rod,
Very nice collection! I noticed in one of your pictures an ammo can that holds 8-2 pounder rounds and it has a tray to secure the rounds on top of the bottom half of the can.

I have a Canadian ammo can that has been identified as a 2 pounder can but never knew how they were secured until I noticed your picture and then it made sense to me how it was done.Would you have a close up shot of the tray and any other inserts inside the can to hold the rounds secure? I also never knew why the cans were not stencilled until I saw one that had a paper label identifying the contents of the can as ammunition.The top of the lid is stamped;
GSW/CANADA 1942 MK II







Derk.
