What Plane is This Ammo Box For?

[lowpass]

Can anyone ID this ammo box? I know that its an aircraft type obviously but, for what? My gut is saying B17/B24 but, I haven't been able to find any decent pictures to confirm it. I'm hoping B-24 so I can use it as part of a museum display...

It is a little hard for me to seethe scale of them but they look very similar to the Bakelite boxes found in the a B-25 such as found in the nose, etc of the G,H and J models. I think a similar box may also be in tunnel of a Harpoon but not sure on that.

As Ryan mentioned, the first thing that struck me is that it looks like one of the boxes as would be seen in the nose of a B-25. Not a perfect match, but quite close to this one, as seen in the nose of the FHC B-25 (there's three of these mounted in a row in the nose).

Looks like what I have except mine has an aluminum lid instead of fiber. Not a bad $20 investment. now to save up for the rest of the B-25
