What exactly is the box with what looks like 2 mags and some rods in it, please?

This is the L12A1 conversion kit used by the Canadian Armed Forces to shoot with .22LR caliber.

The conversion kit is contained in a wooden transit chest which is divided to store the various parts. The kit consists of 0.22 Inch Barrel Insert, Breech Mechanism Assembly and two (2) 0.22 Inch Magazines. The four (4) parts are serialized with a serial number for each kit. For my kit, the barrel has a different serial number (#443) than other parts are (#004). There were made in Germany by Heckler & Koch (HK) as you can see the “HK” stamped on the right side of the barrel. The Canadian Forces used conversion kit for indoor shooting at 25 yards with the FN C1A1 and C2A1 with appropriate targets. When I was in the Canadian Army in the 1980s, I used to shoot a lot the FN C1A1 with the conversion kit.

Really? We have a thread that's been ongoing for a couple years that's currently discussing these. Did you never go have a look? Started by P. Laidler...

When I was in the Canadian Army in the 1980s, I used to shoot a lot the FN C1A1 with the conversion kit.

I used to carry one in my rifle when I was out in the field. Shot thousands with it...mostly Winchester LPO.
