H51 CMK
DLDC-45
The box construction is thin plywood (3 ply) with metal edging and wire handles and wire hooks that fold in to hold the wooden top. I don't know what country made the box but the vickers boxes are the same construction.

Follow the link for pictures of the H.51 2 x H.51 were contained in an H.50 and contained an H.52 tin box
It was developed for use as "Jungle Pack". The are a few other boxes that have the same type of construction,
G.114 for example which I believe held grenades.
