C238A identification

Last Saturday I bought this C238A ammunition packaging which to me is quite interesting.
I know it was used for the 75mm QF 4 AP Shot but the manufacturer is a mystery to me.
Embossed in the lid it says R.T. MP. and I would very much like to know what the name and country of this factory would have been. So far I have only found a factory MP (Mason & Porter) in New-Zealand.

Would anyone be able to identify this manufacturer and does anyone have photos of a C238A with its original markings please?

Richard Thomas Metal Products of Cwmfelin in Wales. They made lots of Jerry Cans too and changed to RTB in 1948.
