Thank you for your answer.
I already checked that link and also this one
.50 Cal. M2 Ammo Can
Unfortunatly no details or info to state a year of make.

Not WW2 much later.. The latch is the tell tale sign.. The insignia painted on the item is also modern...

[Bizio]

Thank you, Gwar.
I also think that older models had 105 rounds cal. .50"
This model is for only 100 rounds as it is for the new M2A1 ammo boxes, so this must be a late production.

[Gwar]

Yes.. That would be a good a good observation on your part... Either way a good piece.. Gwar
