Rob, did you ever establish exactly what they were for? APCBC perhaps?
Anyway, I'll take one please. Regards, Adrian

It looks like I've missed out on these, but if any remain I'd like one or two! These boxes are right for 20 pounder shells.

All
I have 2 of these same boxes - v good condition - C320 and both wartime dates. Brown paint but no stencilling. If there are people out there who still want/need one/two of these once Rob has sold his, then I'd be happy to sell at the same price plus postage. They are surplus to requirements for me ! Rob |

Hello Rob,
Not sure if Lauren wants both boxes, but I would be interested in one if it's available. Many thanks, Eddie. |

Are you sure Lauren? I thought 20 pdr all came in the airtight cylinders. Clearly the C320 wasn't designed for 20 pdr, it's a wartime box.

It is, as you say, reused from previous uses (6-pr?) though. |

All of the references I can find at the moment say C339 Mk1 cylidrical for 20 pounder. That said, I've just matched up and the C320 box is an exact fit for a 20 pounder APDS mk2 drill round.
This is now going to drive me nuts trying to remember where I read it before buying the box that I've already got. |

Yes, that's the cylinder I have and all my references state packed singly in a container.
I suspect C320 got used for various things but it must have been introduced for something specific. As it's clearly almost identical to a C263, other than length, I thought 6 pdr APCBC but that round will fit in a standard C263 so who knows!

Those are likely C263 for AP or C263A for HE. The C320 looks the same with the same wavy rib but there is no mention of them in the 6 pdr literature I have.

C320 has a different wavy line from the photo - note two bumps up where the one in the photo has two bumps down (like the C263 as Adrian says)
