The box is obviously designed to hold them. There is no writing whatsoever on the "cartridges". The cover of the box has some letters and numbers but I can't make them out because of the corrosion.

Top view, some look like they have some sort of primer.

These little items were in the box.

Some are cut to show insides. Length of the larger "cartridges" is 2 3/16 inches. Diameter of body is .510 and diameter of head .689

Inside view showing 2 flash holes deep down.

I am waiting with baited breath!

I don't remember primers for 155mm looking like that, more like a 45-70 brass...but it's been a few years.

Edit...105mm had a flash tube attached and I don't see threads on top. I don't have a 25 pounder casing here to compare to
