picked these up yesterday too- the Snider box needs some cleaning, these have their metal linings so have not been reused for 303. The Snider box is dated 1874 and not common type over here. It looks like it wold be strapped into something or on something, longer than the usual kind. The Martini box is for 1891. There is a letter N stenciled on it, would this indicate Navy ?
