Of course it is! Now that's been pointed out I remember having a WW2 wooden ammunition box with exactly that kind of liner. (The lip of the box was a 'U' channel and the edges of the lid were rolled over to fit into that so that when the box was filled, the channel was filled with a putty-like sealant and the lid pressed into that to make it airtight and waterproof. The lifting handle was fixed to the lid by a soldered on strip of tinplate like a rather flat pipe saddle clip.)
