M1 Ball, M2 Ball Cardboard Boxes

[arnhem44mad]

Hi guys, I live in the UK and collect the Cardboard boxes of M1 Ball, M2 Ball, AP, Tracer, Incendiary and Blank 30.06 Ammunituon.

 

Does anyone know how to date specific M1, M2  AP, Incendiary, Tracer, Cardboard Ammunituon Boxes of 20 rounds using the lot numbers on the boxes?

 

I recently received some M1 Ball boxes which my friend believed were 1932 dates, however I believe that this is only the lot number. 

 

I also have a box of SL 43 dated rounds in an M2 SL Box with lot number 8002. 

 

Manny thanks!
