Out of curiosity, does anyone know where Nieuport 17 pilots (or SE-5 pilots for that matter) kept their spare drums of ammo?

There was I believe a container on each side of the seat that kept a spare drum of ammo. The normal load out for the Lewis was three drums, one on the gun and two spares.
But, I am told that observers typically carried 4-6 reloads for their guns.
