Bren Gun Ammo Box

The 32 round carton I mentioned earlier is another standard type commonly encountered during the war and it holds the same capacity as the Bren magazine. Might be an arrangment that fits in the metal chest.

The Bren Mag took 30rnds, but was generally only loaded with 28 to avoid excess spring pressure causing jamming.
The 32 rnd box was sized to fit 3 boxes into a '37 patt webbing basic pouch, (or the pouch was sized for the boxes!)
