That would be an arsenal pack wrapper that would typically contain 10 cartridges and 12 percussion caps.

And yes they can be reproduced, I have quite a few of them on file in my computer from different arsenals and dates that I can print when making arsenal packs for an event.

You're welcome! I was thinking it'd be great to see this battlefield pick up reproduced and used by modern reenactors.
