I have actually been looking for a box or two of those for my collection haha. I bet they were stored aboard ships since a whole roll would be too much for one soldier and was probably used during shore landings.

Taping muzzles has been pretty much standard practice for NZ
hunting for at least 60 years. It makes no difference to accuracy (tape is usually blown off by air pressure ahead of the bullet) and it keeps water, snow, mud, etc. out of the bore. We don't bother with the secondary retaining wrap and use about 2" of plastic insulation tape with about a 3/8" overlap which blows free easily. After shooting just peel off and repeat. I have had to trim bulges from many muzzles over the years from new or careless hunters who don't follow the practice.
