Pocket or pack. One of the ammo pouches.
'Cleaning kit' in the butt was actually just the pull-through and oil bottle. Small enough to fit anywhere.

The cleaning kit was in a little flat tin, like a tobacco tin. In fact the cleaning kit tin was based on the flat useful shape of a tobacco tin that most smokers carried - and made on the same tooling presses by the same companies, but painted khaki

Also contained a small bristle brush and pullthrough flannels, wire gauze...

The same box survived as a container for SLR and SMG cleaning kits. By the 1980s plastic ones were being procured.

There you go...not bad for off the top of my head...except the bore brush. Guess they didn't really exist then.

one more follow up question....would it be appropriate for the tin cleaning kit to have a brass oiler bottle....or would they have had the plastic one like in the photo above?
