3.5" Rocket Container.

I do not have many ammunition boxes due to the space needed to store them. I will show this item.

It seems to be an Australian loaded 3.5" Rocket HEAT container made from wood and holds 4 rockets.
Dated 4/61.
Mangalore is a town and army ammo/storage depot 100km north of Melbourne, Vic. Puckapunyal is nearby

The smoothness of the surface of your box is noticeable to me.
The US Box M 358 was remarkable for the roughness of the finish on the plywood.
Each US box contained 4 x Rockets M28A2 in 4 x metal containers M241.
The British boxes had the Mark system as is displayed on your box, with 4 x Cylinders No 675 with various marks according to packing pieces.
I fired these and the M29 Practice.

I forgot to show the inside loading data label. There is also a wooden divider to separate the containers.
