MAn!!! You really are going for super detail...it's been a long time but it would say something in the effect of ammo .50 calbre M-2 ball and tracer and it would be painted yellow. I'm sure Sabot will get you more accuracy when he reads this

Hello scocia, I think I can help you out!
I've seen several photo's with the text recogniseable on it. The text is:

105 CAL .50
API M8 LINKED
REPACKED LOT
DM-L-2124

Hope I was of any help for you,
All the best, John.

Thanks very much everybody for your help. Armorama it's a real "gold mine" for the modeller!!! Tomorrow I'll print the decals to put on the ammo box on my on-goin M47 (pics of it can be found in this post https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/9091&page=1) that is almost finished.
Ciao and thanks a lot again
