That is the charge load of an artillery grenade.
It should be uniformly stuffed, with lead wires evenly distributed (against deterioration of the pod).
As we can see, there is a huge variation in charges and sometimes lead wires are missing and simply "thrown in". This means the cannon will fire to random distances, requiring many shots to get to the target. It also means any artillery piece using these random shots will wear down rapidly.
This essentially shows the poor conditions in North Korea (lead was likely stolen by workers, and explosives are made with whatever they can get their hands on).
