After spending a whole day on this we managed to establish the most likely path of these Japanese mortar bombs to Ukraine: as we said initially, they were in fact provided by a third country - in this case it was the United States of America.

#Ukraine: We continue to discover more and more strange weapons being supplied to Ukraine: the Territorial Defense Forces of Zaporizhzhia shared photos of previously unseen shells, which we IDed as J-M49A2 60mm mortar bombs with J-M52A2 fuzes - both manufactured by Japan 🇯🇵! https://t.co/DrjwYr9MUj

Подполковник #46оброн Тихонов Алексей Федорович из Нижегородской обл. денацифицировался в Украине. Ужас, что натовское оружие делает https://vk.com/wall551329312_794 #внгрф #росгвардия #потерьнет #груз200

Japan is known for its strict lethal weapons export policy - but it was not always so.
In 1952 Japan was again allowed to manufacture weapons after WW2 and in the same year the US ordered a huge batch of 265,000 60mm mortar bombs from the Takakura Plant (Daido Steel).

These mortars bombs were ordered for the US and allied forces deployed in Korea and it seems after the end of the conflict at least a part of them were brought back to America.

This theory perfectly explains the use of Kanji characters, which are quite rare today - in the early 50s they were still used, which is confirmed by their presence on other types of weapons.
Here is a crate of Japanese M28A2 Bazooka rockets with the same characters.

Another piece of evidence for the Japanese origin of these bombs is the structure of the lot number.
LOT "J-NT-2-9*" matches the JSDF naming convention, where J used with license-built weapons, NT for a factory code, 2 for a "central number" and 9* for a serial number.

Thanks everyone who helped to dig into this case (@SHIMASHObio and others)!

@bigseb31213 If stored correctly TNT will work just fine after hundreds of years. Given the condition of these bombs - yes, they were stored correctly.
