WW1 Wood transport Plugs

I have these two wood plugs. One fits anything a No 80 fuze will fit and the other
fits the Canadian made U.S. 75mm contract projectiles we made.
I have seen a pressed tin plug also for the U.S. 75s. Has any one else run across these ?
I rather think inter factory movement, though these would save a fortune in brass for overseas
shipment of uncharged projectiles. The larger one is a loose fit now due to drying out and shrinking.
There are light marks on them, but I'm not sure I can get a good image of that.
