I picked up a spare ammunition bin at a militaria show sometime ago. This one is original 1943. For the strap I am using one from a P37 map case. Sometime during its life its had the word "HARE" painted onto it.
I should add that it fits a quantity of five .303 rifle bandoliers perfectly. This adds up to the 250 rounds of ammuntion specified in the manual. This leads me to think that it was a "ready" bin for when the MG crew dismounted. An early version of the "bags" found in the Mk2 carriers.
