Both
Could be either. Often the linked belts came in wooden boxes similar to the regular .303 rifle ammunition.

Ammunition Boxes
The H51 Box is generally considered to be the common box in which belted ammunition would have been supplied to a ground mounted Vickers MG. Being manufactured of thin plywood, the H51 is much like the US M2 metal ammunition box in that although the intent was to recover and refill the boxes, many were not. The construction of this No. 8 Mk I box tends to lead me to believe that it was designed for an AFV and that it was intended to be refilled and reused as part of the vehcle's equipment.

ammo boxes
I have an ammo box with a clip welded to the box.Any ideas what it was used for?
  I also have a Vickers box that I was told went in an armoured vehicle.Was there a particular vehicle this box was used in or was it for any application with the vickers?  "http://www.alfrules.com/derk/IMG_7261.jpg 018.jpg"
