My rule of thumb for unmilled grain storage is about 5 lbs per gallon. At that estimate, You could get about 41.25 lbs of grain in the 33 quart (8.25 gallons) container and about 15 lbs of grain in the 12 quart (3 gallon) container. These are rough estimates. Actual capacities will vary.

For future reference, I was able to successfully fit a 50lb Briess bag of Rye into one set of these. I was not able to fit a 55lb bag of 2-row into a set. I may take a few more minutes to shake it to settle the grain and try again, but it is going to be very close. One additional note on these, when you pick these containers up to move around, the lock doubles as a handle, as such, it is very easy to unlock it and potentially spill the grain.
Alternatively, Walmart sells dog food containers. They feel a little thinner plastic, the wheels only roll in one direction (they have an axle, not on castors). They also have a similar foam seal, and they sell a 50lb dogfood container for about $22. This fit a 55lb of grain with lots of room to spare.
Coupon seems to be gone, but I was able to use it on 3 orders. Thanks.
Does it require both containers to fit the 50lb bag, or will it fit in just the base?
I believe the person meant that they could fit 50 lbs between the two containers.
