US military blasting cap boxes

Had a side discussion with another member on US blasting cap boxes, wanted to post some related pictures.

These are some of the different types in my collection, all for US non-electric blastic caps. Sorry I didn't pull the large crate out, too late here and too much piled on top of it. This is mostly from some interesting ones I emptied over the years and drug home. Normally it's the same boring tan cardboard, but once in a while you get lucky.

I have one just like that! I didn't know it was a regular production item.
 
This may be stretching it a bit, but still military and close to caps at least.
