Here is a picture of the bin with one bandolier in it. Im leaning more to the idea that the bin held ready rifle ammuniton rather than boxed ammunition. There were 3 rifles on the Mk1 carrier and they would have all needed amunition to be reasonably ready to go. Another factor in my thinking is that the boxed ammuniton is not adding up to the 250 rounds as specified in the manual/ stowage diagrams.

I have to say that these posts have become great discussions and im learnign so much.
