Found on a google search that one of these was posted on another forum. They suggest it is for spare parts for a AN/MPQ-10 radar. The AN/MPQ-10 was the first dedicated counter-fire radar specifically designed to track artillery and mortar shells. It was used in the early to late 50s before being replaced by the AN/MPQ-4.
This makes sense to me as it looks similar to the design of a box I saved from my old radar shop that was gonna be thrown out. I’ll post a couple pics of it when I get a chance.
Hope hope this helps and nice find!!

Thank you 08SMLE48,
I will try to search some more with the AN/MPQ-10 and AN/MPQ-4 terms. If this is the case these crates would have been used in the Korean War. It appears it was used for the SCR-300 radio and also for the AN/MPQ-10(A) and BC-1000 radar sets. Can anyone confirm this?
I found a link to a list with the id's and short information of equipment. CY - Case - RadioNerds This case is also listed, CY-64/U General Storage Chest, abt 20x20x20" 65 lbs.
The link below are some other forums post i found, Unfortunately the pictures are gone.. Can you confirm these are the ones you found? If not, please share the other forum post.

Dos , yep that’s the one I looked at.
The Q-10 radar was used in Korea and the Q-4 was used in Vietnam. So this crate could have been used in either or both conflicts.
