Metal mine case

Hi all

Got this metal case a while ago.
My idea was that it was for a Tellermine 35.
Only a tellermine 35 is 135x360x350 mm.
The case is 60x370x320.
Can't find what it is.
Does any one have an idea?
Made for beutte minen?

That metal box looks like the one for a tool/gauge set for various German guns - to make sure I have to check the measurements with mine, but can only do this next weekend.
That set contains different pieces to gauge the pressure of the recoil system. The box has a wooden insert in the lower part, there all pieces are stored. Will make pictures and take the measurements next weekend.

I saw a similar box, with contents, in auction a year or two ago. It was clearly a tool/gauge case for some artillery as MT-LB says.
 
A bit late on the reply.
Sorry for that.

Thanks for the reply MT-LB and Tmine35.

@ Erik,
Allready had the time to take some pictures and mesurements?
And what kind of wood has been used?
Maybe i could restore it and fill it again with the tools that belong there.

All the best,
Sipke
