Default 17pdr ammo tins ww2

well I am slowly getting used to this and from the interest i will try and start threads on further guns in the collection . I have tried to answer comments in a timely manner but thisi may be limited by time issues .
anyway here are some shots of 17 pounder ammo and tins as well as a projectille box which is for storage on its own before loading into case
regards
Rod
tins are two round standard waterproof seal screw down lids with stencilling on side for type of round inside in this case super HE on floor is standard flat tin with cardboard tubes again for rounds

Rod, is the box in the second image a C235? It was used for the 3.7" AA gun. It's still in service in the British Army today for necklace explosives.
