I have seen this same box without any manufacturers or lot number stamp, supposed to be from WW2. Is that possible ?
Bellifortis.
 
Most of them were made by the AC Gilbert Co. during WWII. I suspect this is a post war box.
 
I have googled Navajo army depot and looks like it was only an ammunition storage depot.wouldnt the lot number be from were it was actually made
 
Yes, that's what it is supposed to be (at least for german ordnance). Produced or at least rebuilt or changed.

The 'Bundeswehr' designates
the 'NavajoArmy Depot - Flagstaff ' in their list as a manufacturer.
