Small bombs container - Halifax bomber

[Labman]

Hello all.
I am privileged to be working as a restorer on the Yorkshire Air Museum's Handley Page Halifax.
We have often to reverse engineer parts we need, and parts of parts we acquire.
My current task (one of them) is to restore a 'small bombs container' (illustration attached).
I need detailed drawings/pictures of the release mechanisms and compartment dividers, or a pointer to where I might be able to go to find an actual example to measure and photograph - does anyone have any ideas?

Hello Labman,
Got this pictures from BOCN a long time ago. A member of BOCN bought this somewhere and shared these pictures. Sorry, I don't know anymore who it was but maybe he will recognize this pictures and you can contact him.

The Australian war memorial has in its collections a Mk 1A Small Bomb Container (accession Number REL30995).
It would be worth to contact them for details including photographs and measurement of various parts.
