I think that 6V 100/125Ah accumulator with the handle on the lid is a bodge job to turn a scrapped battery into a toolbox. The battery is _very_ heavy, especially when filled, and there's no way that the lid clips would take the weight of lifting it by a top handle like that.
(Also the fixing bolts go through the filling and charging instruction labels.)

Only very small (6V 16Ah, 6V 40Ah and the 12V 22Ah) batteries had single lifting points, and those were usually a rubber strap bolted through the end case sides.
