[Milsurplus] Trying to ID a small military box. (KD7JYK DM09)

[Robert P. Meadows]

It is just a standard, WWII and some bit later spare parts box for a piece
of equipment.  Just about everything was in a steel box back then, part of
the contract for spares.
A friend has about 5 tons of them, with, of course Liberty Ship and such
spare parts in the boxes.  
One day I might go through them, or at least the partial listing from the
purchase and look for electric/radio spares.  Most of the spares are for
machinery, as that was the important  thing to keep going.

Yes, unfortunately it's vague, the best description I can come up with, and
matches far too many things.

On a whim, I tried a little different search, and came across this:

This MIGHT be it, can't say for certain.  "BA" rings a bell.  I'd know for
certain if I could see the inside, but this post only has one pic, of the
outside.

Anyone have a box like this, and could send a pic of the inside?  If I knew
what the box I used to have was for, it would make finding it easier.
