L42 Transit chest Markings

[newcastle]

so I went down and checked my case today closeer than I ever have before. turns out that the matt drab was over the bronze green which was over a previous coat of matt drab. There were several bumpy patches that I never really looked at before so I did a wee bit of rubbing with a cloth dipped in Turps. There was a large area of RED paint and on top of that a large area of yellow paint, which didn't co-incide exactly with the red, the yellow blocked out half of the red and I can make out the shape under them both of the words "BOX NO". The red appears to be over a piece of paper about3 x 5 inches, which was white with a green edging, divided up into sections, that I haven't been able to check as yet. There were also a couple of bits of paper stuck on with sellotape which the bronze green was just painted over. One of them in block handwriting listed the rifle, scope number and Scout scope number that was in the box. if you have 'Sniper Rifle 33879' with 'Sniper Scope 28821' and 'Scout Reg 19144' - I have your box. Any records of these numbers through your workshop Peter?
