I need information about RIL and SCC and what items they produced.
You have missed many of the Australian ID codes from this forum but thanks for the list- so far. Ron.

RIL I came across looking for information on the C235 box and they appear to have made the No.23 Mk1 tubes for the 3.7-inch AA cartridges.
SCC I can't remember where it came from but when I bump into it will inform you.

I am aware plenty is missing and whatever I come across or discover I will add to the list.
Sure lots of Australian manufacturers are not on it but that is because my focus lies on British for restoring ammo boxes and so far I have not come across any Australian box here in the UK. But from now on whatever I find on the Commonwealth I will add to the list.

In addition I just found SCC as manufacturer of a C239 steel container.

Good day, I have a B167 container, dated 1942 and marked FSC. Does any one know any information on FSC? It is British, Canadian, or Australian? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

See my last post on BOCN as a stop of my collection years: http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/102984-Identication-list

Also not complete, but extensive.
