Unknown US ammo can

I found this “US Army” ammo can in an online shop. Can anyone here confirm that is US Army and what was transported therein.

All I can find, is they call it a M9 storage tube.

Very interesting item. I’ve never seen anything like that.

Would be handy if they listed an NSN, or showed one visible in a picture …

Those look very similar to some Karl Gustav containers we used in Iraq, which may or may not be buried in a few locations within 200 miles of my house. The dimensions make me think that one is for some sort of of 155mm projectile or powder, I have seen the rare powder canister that looks similar. Probably all made by the same manufacturer.

Wrong photo, wrong topic or am I totally missing something here?
Looks like a bad day for a boat owner …
Maybe if the owner had suffed the boat full of those containers it would still be afloat …
:grin:

Scepter makes a “155 mm Propelling Charges Ammunition Container” that looks rather similar…

No NSN
No NATO colorations for the type of round
Mass in KG, not pounds
