G70 restoration project looking for information

[MarcdeB]

I just bought this very rusty G70 dated 1942. Sadly has one broken hinge but that won't stop me from trying to get it back to its original glory.
But I am hoping to find some images of a G70 which I can use as an example to repaint markings on this little box.
So far on BOCN I have only seen a sample from the 1970s which is not the kind I am looking for. I am looking for pics of WWII G70 markings.

Thanks LCPLCOMBAT but that is not what I am looking for. That thread only shows images of stencils from the 1950s and a box with markings from the 1970s.
I am looking for images of WWII markings.

The package at 1942 would have been painted Deep Bronze Green. Towards the end of 1944 the colour changed to No 2 Camouflage Brown.
Where a mark No. is called for use Mk 1.
Do not bother about th packing serial.

Thanks AE501, this is exactly what I am looking for.

There is another picture of the same box containing Grenades Hand No.75 Anti-Tank.

There is another picture of the same box containing Grenades Hand No.75 Anti-Tank.

These images of a G70 for No.75 are from an auction website some years ago.
