Some more shots of the lid, base, hinge and the lid closed would be a great help.

badge presentation boxes imo.
These could very well be silver wound badge boxes.

Didnt silver come in red boxes and gold in black?
The ribbed insert and the depth of the case is something i've not noticed before on other examples....Interesting.

I tried a wound badge but it didn't fit. I will post some pics later with badges inside.
So there's a slot for the pin to fit in? That isn't obvious from the photo's you've already posted, and may help in identification a lot quicker if you posted a shot of it. As a matter of interest, can the tray from any of the cases be removed? You will often find a makers raised stamp on the underside reading for instance, D&B in a cartouche followed by a four figure number or 621.KB. Can you do that without damaging the case?
Any signs of wear on either the lid or tray, an impression of the award that's often called the 'ghost' could also be of assistance, check all the cases closely in angled sunlight to see if this works.
Regards, Ned.
