Hard to tell from the lighting, but if it’s a pea green colour it’s postwar Yugoslavian paint. They often painted over wartime drums, carriers and boxes, though.
Look for a maker’s mark. If you can find a three letter factory code or a WaffenAmt, they’re wartime German with post-WWII paint. If you can see ‘BK’ in a box stamped on them anywhere, they’re postwar Yugoslavian manufacture. The ‘BK’ is a Serbian military control marking.

Thank you for the helpful replies, on the ammo box I can see a 41 and the faint outline of a WaffenAmt, as for the others I don't see any markings. From the images I think the paint is a sand tan colour. I probably will pass on these if they have been post war repainted though.
Thanks,
Bodhi

The gurttrommelträger should be marked on the end plate between the handle fixings (one of which I see is bent). If they were cheap I’d be tempted to buy them, paint them feldgrau and move them on for a profit?

As said above, if the items themselves are wartime and you can get them for a decent price, the Yugo paint isn't too much of a problem; repaint them how they would have looked during wartime if you don't want to run the risk of removing paint and they'll be lovely display pieces that are still worth a few bob.

Last I checked the set costs around 220 USD, is that too much or a good price?

Is that for all items pictured?

I believe so, it doesn’t say otherwise.
