Just because it was made by a manufacturer of telephones does not mean it was made for a telephone. It just means that the bid to manufacture them was by a company that had the right resources to make the required item.
Shame there is not a prefix to the 1196A number, as that might have helped indicate it's useage. Here is a photo of another one on ebay with a slightly different data plate. Could AD stand for admiralty pattern? This one is in grey, which might support naval use as well. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STRONG-VIN...p2047675.l2557 Last edited by rob love; 24-06-17 at 18:54.

Aha! A little light begins to dawn.
It's Admiralty Pattern 1196A, and is probably intended to hold one of the 'Sound Powered' field telephones, which could be used inside the box or lifted out and positioned where you needed it. Maybe this type? https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/mil_gb...att_13152.html Chris.
