Picked this ammo box up at the car boot sale. I suspect it is a .5" vickers box as it is the same as my .303 vickers box only wider. Can anyone tell me how many rounds it would have held Cheers Mick.

Looks very similar to a 100rnd belt box shown at the bottom of the box section on this site http://www.vickersmachinegun.org.uk/acc-ammunition.htm

Good Evening All,
Yes, it's the 100-round ammunition box for the .5-inch Vickers and would have held a 100-round cloth belt. It's of the type used for Armoured Fighting Vehicles.
Cat No. C2/BG 0022, List of Changes A 7772, BOXES, BELT, Vickers .5-in. M.G., No. 2, Mk. I - For one 100-round belt; Tinned-plate
