Put it in a vise and hit it with a hammer ... if it goes ‘boom’ .. it’s an explosive.

As far as I can work out they are Additional propellant charges for 120mm artillery shells.
But that is only a 60% probability.

looks like some sort of propellant charge Note that it says 120mm on it, and as I recall the only things of that caliber that the russians use are mortars such as the 2S9 (SP), 2S12 (towed), 2S23 (SP), and the 2S31 (SP)
