Looks like a container that might have originally held ammunition for armoured cars / AFV. If you could post the container model number someone might be able to tell you more. The Royal Observer Corps stencil probably just means that someone in that organisation acquired it for their own detachment's use or perhaps it was issued to the ROC with aamunition inside that was specific to their purposes.
