C218 project

I have just started a new project with this C218 box made by ELX dated 1943.
So far I have only found information saying it would have carried 2-Pounder cartridges. I am hoping my information is correct and I will be painting on the correct markings.

Yes for 2 pr but not the 2 pr No2 cartridge case, the AT and tank gun, it's for the 2 pr No1 case, the shorter case used in the AA gun.
 
I just today finished repainting my 1943 dated C218.
It is painted Deep Bronze Green with Golden Yellow markings on for the 2PR QF Pom-Pom. It may not be the correct colour for this type of box but as I have been unable to find detailed information and don't have any other than this paint I decided to use it. The stencils I made up myself based on some information I received previously.
