You're right. Imperial Army.

And if you read the labels, it is for wooden weapon cleaning rods!

I think this is a kind of advertising. The company for cleaning rods gave away the labels for the Putzkasten.

The manufacturer of the Putzkasten and the cleaning rods is the same.

Here is a translation of the complete text.

Petri & Stark, Offenbach a.M.
Sole producer of this Putzkasten DRGM 43179 and the wooden rods for cleaning the cartridge chamber DRGM 40699.
With this wooden rods the soldier is able to clean his rifle quick and thoroughly.
