Lucas CAV 142-1 or 141-2 Control Box

I am looking for a good photo of the brass data plate on the front of the big old CAV 141, 142 or 143 series control boxes. These are fitted in vehicles like the Scammell Pioneer series, Matadors, Dorchesters and QLRs as well as the MWR.

The dimensions of the plate would also be helpful.

Just found this picture of one in the back of a Dorchester, and it looks as if the unit is not overall black as anticipated but that perhaps the copper baseplate under the black covers on the box is left unpainted. Does anyone have a NOS or untouched example of a 141/142/143 which shows the original finishes?

Edit - Finished box, just needs a brass (data) plate attaching 

 

Thanks
