This C216 box is Australian made by General Motors-Holden's at their Woodville plant. It has the same pressings as my Canadian made C219, except for the numbers/lettering ID'ing the box. This came from the RAN, who have kindly painted it Naval grey, so no markings are visible, but some raised paint can be made out beneath the top layer of paint. I'll give it a fine sand and see what comes out.
