I have several ammunition containers which have manufacturer codes embossed in the lid but I have not been able to identify the name of the manufacturer was. I am hoping someone on here can help.

1) BB/C
2) BMB
3) CB/C
4) CMS/C
5) ELX
6) MF
7) MPB
8) SCC
9) T&L
10) VAL

​BMB is well known for helmets, boxes, fuel cans. It is Briggs Motor Bodies. Dagenham Dock, Essex.

VAL is Valor. They are known for paraffin heaters but also made ammo boxes and fuel cans. http://www.museumofpower.org.uk/Valor.html
