Chinese military surplus 82mm mortar shell carrier for Type 67 Chi Com mortar

[battle gear]

I just picked up this Chinese mortar shell storage container w/ locking lid and Chinese markings at the surplus store , is this the correct container used for the Chi Com 82mm mortar round as shown in the photo? did they carry one mortar rd per carrier?

just found a photo of the same type of ordnance tubes in my reference book:

Weapons and Field Gear of the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong by Edward J. Emering

page 95

*improvised pack made from two 82mm ordnance cases lashed together with U.S. Aid sack used for straps

the NVA / VC did use these

the owner told me he has about 20 more of these in the back, they are in excellent condition and have Chinese markings , they are priced at $14.99 each

pretty cheap since I didnt have to pay any shipping charges, I added the Chi Com sling, these dont come with any carry strap
