Both the workshop manual and the Instruction book list this box as holding 250 rounds. The workshop manual on pg S10 listed the box as "Magazine Spare, 250 rounds."

In the Instruciton manual its description is "250 rounds, spare magazine", in box on R.H. mudguard"

I tried fitting some mags in the box and they just don't seem to sit right in any configuration. I believe that this box was made to hold the ammunition in the cardboard cartons and not the magazines. I would also assume that there would be some kind of liner inside the metal box.

Does anyone have any original wartime cartons for size comparisons?
