CZ 7,65mm ammo box

[Kris]

I'm a bit confused about this timeframe of this CZ ammo box (no ammo, just the box).
Some thoughts :
I associate the CZ logo more with post war equipment but i'm unsure.
The use of the Waffenfabrik Brunn AG together with the Czech name of the firm. As far as i know the name Waffenfabrik Brunn AG was only used during the German occupation. Would they use it post war?

Any ammo collectors or collectors from CZ who can help?

Thanks !

The colours are the CZ national colours too.

Be the cardboard box with a German inscription was made before May 1945 and distributed in Czechoslovakia after the liberation in May 1945.. with also Czech inscription (and German inscription was not accidentally sealed by the new Czech inscription (?)).
You check both paper labels on the box, whether as Czech label of another kind of paper, different colors - whether it was on a box delivered later than the German label(?).

or..

In Bohemia and Moravia were throughout the war 39-45 for all non-military goods used bilingual signs - German and Czech. There it is possible, that these patronen have been made, for example for Czech gendarmerie in the BuM or for sporting purposes, so the boxes could be bilingual *)?

*) The words "Waffenwerke Brunn A.G." it is the literal translation of "Zbrojovka Brno a.s." in Czech language.

..on the other hand, the company with the Czech name "Zbrojovka Brno a.s." there was only from May 1945 to approximately March 1946, after this time was this company nationalized.

Anyway, it's very interesting and probably also the rare paper boxes (for all collectors of ammunition).

Thank you for your valuable information and opinion.
The label on the side of the box is in one piece. There's nothing taped over with another label.
