Mk1 bren carrier boxs
I picked up two original bren mag boxes for the mk1 carrier. Never see these in original before, usually lost as they only have a strap holding them in.

I found mine on the back of an old tractor at auction. I'll give Derk Derin credit.....I recognised it as a military box, it was Derk who recognised it as the ammunition bin. I didn't have to buy the tractor to get it...I merely had to deal with the guy who did buy the tractor. I guess when you pay $350 for a tractor and get $40 back for the little box under the seat, you are doing OK.
I quickly sandblasted it and brought it to the MVPA convention in Alabama to show John Bizal. We had had a bit of debate about how high these boxes were supposed to be. He had repros of a significantly higher box. On seeing mine (with part number) he borrowed it and made a new pattern of copies.

Are we talking bren mags, or bulk ammo storage?

I believe this box held 5 bandoliers worth of ammunition. One of the equipment listings says it held 250 rounds. My understanding is that it was an earlier version of the "bail out bags" seen on the later carriers.
I tried fitting 5 full bandoliers and they fill the box rather well.
