In your first photo you can see the original "footprint" of the front lug.

Is the case a L4 bren box?
The box was a bren box thats properly modified to hold C2 magazines.
They do not fit in any metric FAL. They lock up properly in inch receivers but not as tight as an Aussie L2 mag

Thats the bit thats hard to explain. As far as I can ascertain they have been in storage/possession of one individual since 1960 up until they changed hands 3 times in the last month. Considering the C2 and L2 never went into production until 1962 and the first L4 was 1958 (excluding trials) could these be from early development of the L2/C2? I cant remember where I read that the L4 was hard on magazines and would spit out the magazine after shearing the lug off and the lug had to be beefed up to prevent this. Now up until the L4 came into existence and caused the redesign of the front lug what did the original lug look like?
