Very Round, Reproduction set of 12
Hi Robin
In answer to your question the Signal Rounds box pictured was, I am told, originally from a Daimler Dingo. That said i can't profess to have seen it come out of the Vehicle so it may ultimately have been from another type.
I had it displayed with my Signals Pistols until I saw a photograph of a wartime ETO SAS Armoured Jeep which seemed to have one bolted to the rear Armoured panel. Again presumably it had originally been in another vehicle and was some form of local unit Modification at the time as I can fine no official reference to wartime SAS Jeeps having them fitted as standard.
That said, all the images I have seen of wartime SAS Jeeps tend to show very individual set ups, based on what began as the "standard".
When I converted one of my Jeeps to the SAS configuration I remembered the photo - so Added my signals box to it.
Hope that helps
Merry Christmas to all
Rob
