I hope your not planning to repaint the box Rafail?
I think that would be a VERY bad idea. I'd leave it as it is, It's a rare box with the original stenciling.
I'd love to have it in its original condition, but repainted its just another box.

yep do not worry!!! ... this will stay as it is... but i have a few more B167A and B167 in TERRIBLE condition... and i need to restore them.. to go with the installations.

Also looking for 2 inch mortar HE and SMOKE markings....
