Original Note:
"Exactly what it said on the tin" These are not food cans; they’re the packaging for M603 fuzes for M15 anti-tank mines. https://cat-uxo.com/explosive-hazards/fuzes/m603-fuze https://operatormanuals.tpub.com/TM-9-1345-203-12/TM-9-1345-203-120088.htm https://www.militarynewbie.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/TM-43-0001-36-Ammunition-Data-Sheets-for-Land-Mines.pdf https://youtube.com/shorts/CJFm1e5O_K4?si=51bF5Iz5hr3nGZug Fuse can explode only if installed into the mine. Tins are a common way to store ammunition: Ak47's rounds came in rectangular tins, for example.
