Now that's a confusing post at first!
ETA , If you're just whizzing along, looking at new posts, only stopping to ponder the most interesting ones, this will make you slow down a bit and think- "eh?".

I think bigduke6 got his pics and the auction mixed up .. 
Here's a pic from the auction, which is for a No.15 chest ...

Confusing -? - No.
The photo comes after the comment about the Vickers chest so the two are 'linked'
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

The one thing that confuses me is the NSN on bigduke6's box. The stock class and the country code are ones I am not familiar with. Usually weapons stuff is 1005 stock class and
Britain
is a 99 identifier code. Can't say as I have ever seen "0120-90- as is on his chest.
By the way, I could use that tripod box, but it would just join the rest of the stowage boxes on the pile. I keep accumulating them, but have quit storing them in the gun room.
Here is just the Cno7 pile:
Stencollector, Was just pointing out the item on ebay regarding the price, have been looking for one, but think i will be making one from the plans badger posted. (unless you have a spare one going cheap)?
As for the Vickers (tripod) chest i only posted picks to show what it gets used for,
Was a stop gap to store the stuff from getting damp when i moved, 8 years later they seemed to have settled in, it was a leftover from my days of collecting deacts, it would cost more in shipping, than the actual value of the box, it weighs a ton even without the tripod in.
Going by the price on ebay your, "pile" would come in at around $7000 (going by the photo would say there was 14?) i would be moving them back in the gunroom!!

I seem to think that the nation identifier for Australia or NZ is 90 Stencollector. The stock class code of 1120 is recovery kit if I seem to remember. So I think that the old Vickers tripod chest was used to store recovery kit in while in Ordnance. Then disposed of as a wooden chest until BD recognised the chest and bought it!
I'll put that part number into the big stores computer next week and see what it indicates......... probably a big recovery rope!
As matter of interest, when the Vickers was air dripped in containers, to save valuable space, the tripod was clamped down to a shutter-ply frame which was butterfly bolted into the container at the opposite end to the parachute.
