Note: This box is similar to the Huegel # WCC-8 L-1(c) variation. The differences observed are that this box displays blue printing as opposed to black and the bottom of the box does not match Huegel's sample photo due to slightly different wording because this is a 22 Long box.
This box is L-27 in Huegel's Super-X Checklist.
