Help..I can't really make out the top/lid details of the box with the pics I have.. I know there's 3 hinges at the top rear of the box, 2 depression around the centre --off to the left and right of the top of the box with something shaped like a "T"..and.. like a handle at the centre.
Anyone got photos from Above
Here's the link to prime portal...

Thank you Matt.
That square depression..it's at angle isn't it..deeper to the rear..of the tank right?
Any idea what that thingy is at the centre of the box top?
( directly above the "83").

the thing above the 83 isn a 3rd lock it's folded down into the square depression in the lid of the box
T Handle is similar to this
the right hand side of the lid looks like it got Bent Upward...... It Should be flat..... Someone might have put too much stuff in the box then tried to close it

The box is a HEMMT storage box. You can see it better below. The center part is a locking hasp.
