Hi Melanie, as i was in the Dutch Army
I know quiet well these cases with the FH 276 in it.We used them also, it was an emergency lighting set for militairy vehicles.The German versorgungsnunmer is in fact the NATO stocknumber, witch is equal for all other armed( NATO) forces that used this set.The ones that were used here in Holland did' nt have this number stamped in the tank but a copper coin on the bottem with year of
starting used and this NATO stocknumber.
