A member of my local model club was given this ammo box for Christmas (with two bottles of wine inside) but we can’t ID what it originally carried.
It has the markings
M92 TS 1943
Thanks for any help

Loaded the image in Google Image Search. It tells me it’s a Canadian artillery ammo box from ca. 1943.

It’s a P60 box. It was standard for 25-pounder shells, but the same design was adapted to carry other ordnance, such as hand incendiary bombs or No. 68 grenades. All you had to do was change the packing arrangement inside. I have three very similar boxes that contained 60mm mortar rounds.
They were stored like this:

Not the same as in the limber in your photo, the box is clearly marked M92.
