Those are neat. Thanks for the close up pic. Marked US like that, were they for training aerial gunners?
That's what I always thought, but they marked MWR (moral, welfare, recreation) ammo the same way where it was used on military base rec ranges. Figured all the cartridge companies would be strapped to war ammo contracts but these could have gone both ways.
