I don't think the H. 50/H. 51 combo was only used in jungles, but I presume the original purpose was and like a lot of British army stuff it was found to be useful in service and expanded to meet other needs. I have another box, a G.114 which looks like a grown up version of the H. 51 but I think was used for grenades. I assumue it was part of the "Jungle Pack" but I will have to look into it more.
