Hi friends, I hope everyone is keeping ok...
I’ve just aquired this C263 ammo box, but am struggling to find any information on it. It looks like at could be a 6 Pdr, being so long... also, do you think that this is the correct paint? It doesn’t appear to have been repainted, and there are remains of some stencilling...
Any help, as ever, much appreciated.
Thanks, Shaun

It could be one of these, strapped to jeep bonnet...

There are examples on Google Images stencilled 6PR. The paint looks good to me.
Nice wartime photo!

Thanks Ubique, I think i have been searching C236 instead of C263! Looks like it is a 6 PDR AT gun ammo box, probably to hold four rounds? Just found this picture too...
