The nomenclature is 'oiler and thong case'. The thong is the pull-through. Older ones are metal, like that. One of the caps, probably for the pull through, has a soft end insert so it won't rattle against the inside of the butt trap. Most of the WW II versions are made of an orange, transparent plastic. Nice find; they're going up in price.

This one has the leather insert in the cap. It's a bit dirty and I thought it was rubber or plastic at first.
