They are interlocking metal tubes that are shipped palletized in something like an 6x6 configuration. We called them honey combs. This site has a photo of the palletized ammo on page 4: http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/2001missiles/peters.pdf

That's it, a metal pallet that is banded together with the interlocking tubes forming the basis of support.
