Default Fort Rodd Hill

They look like the cases that the ammunition for fort Rodd Hill's twin quick Firing 6 pounders came in.
Maybe Robert Campbell or one of those guys could confirm or not.

Default ammo box

Thats the first one I seen thats not turned into a fuel tank. I had a couple made into extra fuel tanks for across the back of the Jeep to replace the rear seat.
I do recall seeing some on the front of a carrier in another thread.
