Need help identifying ammo box

[Smudge]

Hi Chaps

I need help identifying this box please? They were fitted to Falklands Scorpions and Scimitars for extra stowage. Also, any decent photos and measurements would be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation.

It looks like this, C238A Mk1 on eBay.

Seller says it’s 66cmx24cmx24cm

Or it could be AMM CONT L1A1 SV432A on this eBay listing.

Seller says it’s 65cmx24cmx25cm.

Being pedantic, they are C238mk2 No extenal differences, only internal ones. Used for Trip Flares and 120mm Tank Practice
The one in the ebay listing was originaly a mk 2 but has been reverse engineered by having the internal end plates removed and a plate welded on the lid, check the image with the open lid, it still shows mkII stamped on.

Thanks guys; C238 Mk2 it is. Seeing as these were fitted on Ascension I'd lean towards Trip Flare boxes.

Thanks again

Interesting. Liberated from the Marines in Apr 82 maybe?
