Default Accumulators

Those dry cell accumulators never seem to show up and there's not much info on them. I'd like to make some cases to go with my 11 set. Pic 1 shows 2 HT batteries behind the set. Using the set for dimensions I came up with the case being 10" high, 13 " wide and 3.5" thick and made of wood. You can see the grain. The red highlite shows a seam an inch in that will be where the cover comes off to replace the cells. It's held in place by those screws you can see. In pic 2 you can see that the screws aren't flush with the wood. Pic 4 shows the back side and there are no screws.
In pic 3 the strap attaches about 1" down from the top then that black rectangle is where the wires plug in. It's 1.5" by 3" and my plug is 1" by 2" so that's about right.
In pic 5 the highlited area looks like one of these batteries with the cover removed?
Does anybody have anything they can add? Pics would be nice!
