In the late war period (1944-1945) there was an overhaul and repacking of pre-war and wartime ammo into improved packaging. The repacked ammo lots were given 5-digit Lot codes (NNNNN) assigned in blocks to each manufacturer. Troops would avoid or refuse to use up older or repacked ammo because it was feared it would misfire or jam.
The M1 ammo crate held a total of 1,000 belted or linked rounds packed in 4 M1 ammo boxes and the later M1A1 ammo crate held a total of 1,000 belted or 1,100 linked rounds packed in M1A1 ammo boxes. There were two .50 M2 ammo boxes to a crate (for a total of 220 belted or 210 linked rounds) with a volume of 0.93 cubic feet.
The NATO Stock Number or National Stock Number (NSN) is a 13-digit alphanumeric code consisting of a Group of Supply, a Class of Supply and the unique NIIN to designate unique items of supply grouped by their relative catalog category. The first four digits are the NATO Supply Classification (NSC) or Federal Supply Class (FSC) code.
The National Stock Number was the same number as the FSN, plus the two-digit National Codification Bureau (NCB) "Country Code" added between the FSCG code and the item code. The US government added the code numbers "00" in the place of the NCB digits to all FSN numbers to create compliant American NSN numbers.
The code was created from the headstamp AE by moving one letter to the right in the alphabet. The headstamp code faces the rim, with the letter code at 6 o'clock, the batch number at 12 o'clock, the NATO Interchangeability symbol (+) at 9 o'clock, and the 2-digit year at 3 o'clock.
