As far as I can work out they are Additional propellant charges for 120mm artillery shells.

Looks like you're right. It reads "Crack open only before shooting" then "Bundles additional charge to 120 mm PM"

top section -

opened only
before shooting

middle section -

bundles of extra charge to 120mm cm
vtod 2/d B

bottom section -

4 - A - B

Just using online stuff. I really don’t know. But it does remind me of charges for artillery.

I don't speak it, but I can read it. Hardest part was not having Russian as a font on my 'puter. Bing translator did the rest.

I tried learning Russian in college, but found that by the second year, the Russian homework was chewing up 60% of my homework time, and it was an elective class. So, I dropped it.

I did learn (or so they thought) Korean in the Air Force, which is partially where my screen name comes from.

But that was more than 20 years ago. I find that I remember more Korean when I've had a few drinks, but without any means to practice it with a real person, it faded quickly once I got out in '94.

Korean was pretty easy to learn, once you get past the alphabet. The hardest part was getting myself worked into a corner in the conversation because I still thought in English, then translated to Korean. I’d get ahead of myself, then forget where I was... Not much has changed, except I’m farther behind myself now.

You would not believe the number of phone calls I personally got when Bruce’s cache of goodies was discovered....:o)

And just think...that only what they found under his house. Think of the rest of his property and surrounding area.

He was a wheeler Dealer fer sure...always trading cases of 300 Win mag that was custom loaded etc for the dark side. He had connections and folks entertained him.

Stay safe and don’t overload yer 120mm Paruski Artilley piece with this old stuff !

Nite !
