P59 1945 76mm

Recently acquired, was going to restore but after a good degreasing which removed most of the paint from the inside! Is it unusual to have a 76mm P59 which of course did hold four 25lb shells. As the photos show it was stencilled in yellow and then white but there are yellow letters under the thick brown paint. There are also holes near the lid hinges and the latches which had tape covering from the inside and brown paint so were done before the last repaint.

Paper labels only have 'Packed' and 'Re-packed' that can be read.
