Jonathan,
Top? I've never seen a top on the box! This must be some replacement
enhancement. My original '73 has a back, two sides and a bottom. It is
bolted on the ends of the bottom, and then there are two phillips head
screws on the back. The sides are riveted to the back, (or maybe the
back is riveted to the sides, I don't remember right now). Now maybe
the UK version was a little more refined, but somehow I don't think
so.
