Lewis ammo box ???

[bryan]

I saw this on Ebay it looks like a Lewis ammo box but has Bren ammo box style clips?
WW2 issue or is it for the Vickers k? I have never seen this type before.
Ebay number 141541833377
Does anyone know?

I think I now know what this box is. I think it is BOX M.G. INSTRUMENTS, M.K.3 for use with the Vickers.
Does anyone have photo of one with the internal divisions or a drawing of one?
There is a reference in the identification list for the drawing V.A.O.S SECT & PART OR CAT. No C1/BD6033 and 6034 Drawing No DD(E)3206/3 sheets.
I bought this battered old box with a view to restoring it but it looks like it is missing something because there are rivets running down the middle.
Any help would be appreciated so that I positively identify this box and try to put it back as it was.

I did not want to put this in the main Vickers section knocking someones post off so if you know someone who can help please let them know.

Thanks Bryan.

A Little update regarding the box. I have found another box with the internal divisions complete so I have been able to replicate the divisions on the first box and now both boxes are almost finished. I know what should go in them thanks to and old post on this site but the night line webbing holder is to long to fit flat in the box? Does anyone have any info however small on packing these boxes.

Regards Bryan
