From what I remember, indy rounds in black "press board" tubes with metal end caps gloss black . Stenciling IDing lot #, type etc off white. Two rounds to a wooden shipping crate. This was for both the HE Plastic and HEAT rounds. On the crates I handled there was a decal of shaking hands (S. Vietnam/ USA).
Long time since I was a Det Commander on the 106 RCL.

Hope this helps,

Doug
