Mortor Ammo Box?
 

This ammo box came with some other stuff a while back, curious as to what it was for. The box is unmarked, contains 2 x 3 carriers marked No. 11, 1944. I am assuming they are for mortar rounds, if so what size? I have seen a similar box before, but never the carriers.
As usual any information would be gratefully received.

they are for the 3" Mortar

Nice
 

Good to see it has the parts usually turfed!

I have a few of these boxes but they're empty alas!

Thank you Tony and Keith.
Starting to regret selling those Mortor legs at Corowa a few years back.

Richard, is there a number and date stamped into the base of the box?

Yup, never thought to look on the base. Has "B162" over "1" stamped large. no date.

1 carry handle and 3 tubes only for a Starting price $145.....I would happily sell my box complete with 2 sets of tube carriers AND transport to Corowa for that.
Almost hope he gets it....
