    The literal Translation wouldn't make much sense (Carriage Stock) Carriage Spares or Carriage Equipment would make more sense but that would be Lafetten Ersatzteile or Lafette Ausrüstung .
    What was supposed to be in there?

    Maybe it is box for spare wheel bearings for the Lafette -gun carriage? The box looks like it had dividers in it for 4 sections.Just a guess.....Pete.
