On the wooden cradle (or "packing, tray" as the manual calls it) I can find the part number 12169 along with the FMco 42 date. The manual refers to 12169A being superceded by a 12169B, so there could be a different design, or it might have been something as simple as a different chamfer on the wood.
I have run in to this type of packing before, bt would love to see any variation on the design.
The manual refers to the grenade boxes as Box, hand grenade, no4, and no5, so I am guessing that these standardised boxes were used on other vehicles of the time.
