Ammo box ID?

It’s aluminium, so likely aircraft.. any idea?

EN830 posted a youtube clip showing what can be found with a metal detector in Holland and Germany. In that clip an ammo box identical to yours is identified as a german ammo bin left by a retreating parachute regiment. It starts about 1:34 min. into the clip

Looks like German MG34/MG42 to me – aluminium is said to have been for paratroops as most were steel.
There were versions of this weapon used in aircraft but I don’t know about the ammo containers.
