Can any of you guys tell when these ammunition boxes were introduced? They are made from double sided aluminium and the lid is sealed with a heavy rubber gasket making it water and air tight. Looks like that they have been made for rough handling and maybe air droppings. Each box is packed with a first aid bandage and two anti-moister linen bags.
Some of them have 65 with white cartridges signs painted, and the ammunition is also marked 1965. But some of the other boxes only have the yellow cartridges sign painted on the boxes and the ammunition is from 1943.
I was wondering if the yellow marked boxes have been re-packed or if they could be from W.W.II?
