I've seen that these boxes are often represented as if they were for MG42 spare parts. I disagree here, but correct me if I'm wrong. I believe that they are for mortar parts/optics or something else, because my friend had one with white letters on it; "s. Gr. W. 34". Unfortunately, I can't proove this without the picture which I don't have.
Here are two of those in my possession. WaA stamps indicate that one of them is metal ammo box (no kidding!) manufactured somewhere in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The other one has "Ad. B. L." stamp.
Now, could someone help me solve this mystery?
