Found this lil beauty on eBay ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
the Writing around the end cap reads:
40mm.. M1&Q.F.GUN(BOFORS)
CONTAINER 40MM.M66
It comes in two parts, is 18" long when constructed and is a main compartment and lid. The metal end cap has the same detail on each end. Coloured overall black. Constructed of thick cardboard, just like a toilet roll and has a metal ring protecting the exposed edge. It is thinker inside at the bottom, probably to accommodate the pointed end of the round and to stop it moving around in transit.
I estimate that Ammunition Box C219 will hold 24 of these tubes.
