Anyone familiar with 18th-19thC Brass cartidge boxes?

Hi Antlantia.
Usually these cartridge boxes were at the waist of the warrior so there aren't so many pictures to show them.
I provide you some paintings from Peter Von Hess 1792-1871 that he made during the Greek War of Independence.You can see some warriors wear pairs of these cartridge boxes.

Seems to have some problems with the pictures.
I will try to solve it.
I am sorry.

Ilias,
You have perfectly put them into context for me, thank you so much.
I had searched online images for ages and not found anything like the pictures you have supplied.
Excellent examples, just what I wanted, bravo!
