The grenade boxes are usually lined with thick felt, and on the exterior have a stencil stating to fill the bottom with cotton waste to pack the grenades to a reachable height inside the box, depending on which grenade type is being stowed.

Interesting the IR basket is mounted with bolts to lugs on Canadian Cents. The original Brit design was on pins so the (empty) basket could be lifted off. I also notice the internal bracing, which was a modification to overcome the basket sagging from over-loading.
