You have gold there my friend, if my eyes don't deceive me.....
I believe that those are some really really nice bail out boxes.
what's a bailout box?
These were used on a universal carrier (bren carrier) as stowage boxes for the crew. They would contain the basic ancilliaries such as socks, ration etc for each crewman in case of abandonment of the carrier.
Collectors would give anything to have their hands on such finds.
