I checked these out on the VLS Website and they are 20mm ammo cans. Lots of troops scarf these up and use them for tool boxes and additonal stowage on vehicle that don't have 20mm guns.

If this is a modern US set, the smallest box would actually be 7.62mm ammo for M-60 and M240/M240C machine guns. Biggest ones are 20mm. We mounted them on the back of the buslte rack of the M1s to hold POL products like cans of GAA, oil, Break Free (weapons cleaning oil), etc.
