Fake PLSS?

BertieSlack:
Does anyone know what the object next to the footpad is in this Apollo 15 photo:

Maybe it carried replacement LiOH canisters for the PLSSs? The latest hoaxnut claim is that it's a 'continuity error' - an accidental 3rd PLSS on a fake moon set. There's a similar object just beyond it too. I've seen similar objects in Apollo 16 & 17 photos too.

Trebor:
A sample container?
The one in the background seems to have a lid and handle.
Not sure why they would assume its a PLSS, looks nothing like one. And is the wrong size and shape.

I'm sure why it is called a PLSS, that fits  into his beliefs that the Moon  landings were faked. 

Allan F:
Shape and size looks like a match to the LiOH containers for the LM's CO2-scrubbers.

At the start of EVA 2 they unloaded pallet 2 which carried spare LiOH canisters. Stowage for those, perhaps?
