... To get back on topic, if looking for a box to hide some batteries in it may help to simply give the dimensions of what you need and see what pops up. Does it matter if the box has been repainted? Do you want it with stencilling? You just don't know what's out there. 2pdr, 25pdr, .303, 3.7" We've all got some and a lot of us will be at Corowa. (Except Mike)

As Mike C suggests, yes they were specific Larkspur Battery boxes and the big issue is that the boxes need to mount four side by side in a frame that is demountable from a Land Rover or Austin Champ, into an Studebaker truck or even into a radio shelter.

The image below is the actual box, from Mike Kelly's wanted post from last year.

Mike specifies dimensions of 15" wide and 11" tall and I measure the frame making the max 8" for the depth .
I am even getting to the situation (if Mike is in agreement) of making a mould off Mike's single box and then replicating them in fibreglass.
