Default Mk 2 tool box trade for Mk 1

Thanks to Rob Love informing me of a carrier tool box he saw for sale near me, I now finally have one for my carrier, only to find out it’s for a Mk 2 carrier. Does anybody have a Mk 1 carrier tool box they would like to trade for the Mk 2 tool box I have?
The old guy that had it for sale said his dad used to have a carrier when he was a kid. I asked him if the carrier was still around but was sold years ago. I asked if there were any other pieces lying around from it? There was a pile of scrap metal in the yard that had some green metal pieces but the pile was already hauled away. Would have liked to look through it but was too late. He said there was a green Jerry can in one of the scrap cars. We went over to have a look at the Jerry can and right in front of it was the hinged armoured plate for the front gunners port of a Mk 2 carrier. That got me wondering if the tool box was from a Mk 2 as well. Rob confirmed it was. Better than not having one at all but I’ll know it’s not proper!
The armoured plate is trading material if anybody is interested in it? I’m still looking for a few more items for my Mk 1 carrier.
Thanks,Derk
