A translation would be something like this (I'm not a German speaker so I used google translate):

Offnen nur bei feindgefahr (Open only when enemy threat.)
Bauwerk Nr__________ (Building Nr)
MG__ Nr__________ (MG____Nr)
Legend aufbewahren ( Legend store)

I had never seen this kind of box and it doesn't sound as a field used MG box...so could it be for AA weapons stored in AA towers?, Those gigantic ones built in some German cities?

Yes, translation is right...but colour and concept...very strange and ho holders on sides...and about 50 kg weight !!!

no one ?

one correction:

legend aufbewahren....should be "liegend aufbewahren", meaning storage not upright (lying down).

Box...no idea, sorry!
