Papercontainer for German riflegrenades

Bizar

These ones showed up the last week. Fake or real...
The codes on it didn't convince me. Both of them don't refer to any paperfactory.
Opinions are welcome.

They look good but the markings look in too good condition compared to the containers.My gut feeling is they're fake but i'm no expert on these.
 
The codes above ozz probably didnt exist in 1943, only half 1944 assigned, so the woc/43 is certainly problematic.b.r.Andy
 
Seems like a lot of effort would have been expended to fake these tubes for what kind of return? Are they desirable enough items collector value would make them worth reproducing and artificially aging? I know one guy whom is into inert ordnance and has a very strong knowledge of German stuff. I may not see him until the first week of December, but he would likely know the answer...
 
I believe the 44 stamp on second one was made by single die 4, that means each digit, so certainly not done in fabric but more real postwar. Same as the o and c letters looks identical.b.r.Andy
