IF Tutankhamon has "feminine hips and breasts" on his statuary perhaps this is leftovers from the Al Amarna age when statues of Akhenaton had female attributes -- female shapes on a male body, rather than a female Tut.
The proposed Storeroom would contain "metallic and organic" items -- like a papyrus diary scroll and a golden ring with a bezel of Emeraldium (meteoric magic stone shaped like an emerald but harder than a diamond, used in construction of the Pyramids at Giza, which Tut was fond of).
Or it could be a tomb fit for a Queen --- Take Ankhesenamon, his Queen, not her mother. Why would Tut care to protect his step-mom for 3300 years? Most likely his Ka is protecting the love of his life, Ankhesenamon, also called Ankhkheperura Nefer-Neferuaton, the coregent to Tut after Akhenaton was disposed of.
Tut has Ankhesenamon protecting him on the Canopic Shrine, just as Nefertiti is shown protecting Akhenaton, as statuary, on his Canopic Shrine.
Ankhesenamon also protects his stone Sarcophagus, later redesigned as goddesses.
KV62 is probably her tomb, originally made for Smenkhkara, and after Tut's original tomb was plundered, he was moved into KV62 with her burial in other now-blocked chambers.
(KV62-B contains my previous data).
