Hi Looloo,
The bottom markings, RG.9.3.56B, give the manufacturer and date information. And, if I am correct, it's (Royal Ordanance Factory) RADWAY GREEN 9th March 1956. But, I'm unsure what the B at the end denotes.
The box would contain 300 rounds of Mark 7 .303" Ball ammunition, in cotton bandoliers of 50 rounds each.
There may be more manufacturer markings stamped into the box, on the underside.
Regards,
