What is the meaning of "N'vuv Luchos"?

1.

Rashi, Rashbam, Seforno and Targum Yonasan: It means that the Mizbe'ach was made of boards of acacia-wood and was hollow in the middle. 1

Without a base and without a cover (Seforno and Rashbam). Refer to 20:21:1:2. Rashi there however, writes that the frame of the Mizbe'ach was made of copper?

Rashi, Rashbam and Targum Yonasan: Whenever they encamped, they filled it with earth. 1

Refer to 20:21:1:2. Though, according to the the opinion that the Mizbe'ach measured five by five by ten Amos, how they filled it when they encamped and emptied it before they traveled is puzzling to say the least?
