The box remains the property of Guy, he seems to have a talent for spotting "green objects of interest". The dimensions I gave were more or less interior dimensions for the main part of the box, adding for the depth of the lid would make your box and Guy's almost identical in size. This box didn't seem to have evidence of stamping or embossing, or seem to have enough paint to hide all traces of it. It could easily be for the same use or be a similar box for another purpose. Thank you for the clue.

Stamped on the front, below the latch, in 5/8" letters is:
