These are containers for HE charges, these were used to send from one factory to another.
I know of 2 different versions, the other one being slightly bigger, that one is also
marked with the chargetype (Gr. 38 HL/B i think).
Roy's tube was found with the "P65" mark, and a "Sprl. d. 7,5 cm Igr. 38 HL/A" mark.
"Sprl. d. 7,5 cm Igr. 38 HL/A" , the HE charge for the 7,5 cm I.Gr. 38 HL/A, fits exactly in these tubes.

As for the crate: usually a Packkiste of some sort was used for transporting HE charges, Packkiste nr. 10 is often found with HE labels.
