German supply container

I discovered this picture while browsing through a different forum. I just love the way everything is so organized.

Has anyone ever seen any of these containers as they sure would make an amazing display?

I have seen them listed for sale before in the past, but as with anything Paratroop related these are not cheap items.
A quick look on the net and I came across this website which has some interesting information on them...

Thank you for the website info Kev.

I have attached a picture which shows a 3,7cm Pak all ready for an airdrop so I think it would be safe to assume that there was a speciallyfitted Abwurfbehlter to carry the Pak ammo.

I have a copy of L.Dv.T.g.5207 "Verlastung von Waffen und Gert der Fallshirmtruppe" - 284 pages of different containers and detailed different fillings of containers.

Who has information or a good picture of the German liquid dropping container. The have a filling aperature on the side of the container near the base and an emptying aperature in the base. (see no. 3 on the picture).
