C263 L.P.

Hello all.

On Ebay I came across this very peculiar container, marked C263 L.P.
I have a C263 Mk1 myself and it appears to be a much different model. The C263 L.P. looks very similar to the C298. Interestingly, it seems to have stencilling on it saying it contained 6 Pdr 7 CWT Cartridges PRACTICE.
I know the C298 was used for 6 Pdr 7 CWT HE, but I can't help wondering why a container looking like a C298 would be marked as C263 L.P.
Anyone any ideas?s-l1600 (1).jpgs-l1600 (2).jpgs-l1600 (19).jpg
