Mine was just a guess wrt the 2" mortar, but I based it on the cleaning rod and brush pouches on the side. I think the thing to do is perhaps try out a 2" cleaning rod and brush to see if they fit in those holders. If it is smaller than 2", then I am not sure what it could be for. Perhaps a Schermuly line thrower? But since that was a naval item, I am sure there is a nice hardwood chest with polished brass fittings and felt lining for it.
