The BESA box is similar to a Bren box but not as tall.
Overall dimensions of the box body are:-

Length 47 1/4"
Width 9 1/4"
Depth 8 1/8"

These are for the box body only. The lid is:-

47 5/8" X 9 1/2" overall.

The handle blocks are:-

5 1/2" X 2 3/4" X 3/4".

So the overall size of the finished box including all protruberences is:-

48 3/4" X 9" X 9 1/2"

The sides, lid and ends are all 7/8" thick with the base being 1" thick. Sides and ends are dovetail jointed and the base screws on flush with the sides and ends. There is a steel strip all round the lid that is 1 1/4" X 18G, flush with the top and relieved where the lid catches go. Corner stiffeners are L brackets made from 3/4" X 16G flat bent into 3 1/2" X 2 1/2" angles.

All other details same as Bren box.

Mine has been stripped a bit internally but it's not hard to figure out what is required as you have the BESA to put in it.

My pics are too big it seems to upload...... PM me your email and I'll send them direct.
