Can you maybe elaborate what kind of ration it is?
Country of origin?
What year it was produced maybe?

I've only seen that ration in a couple Natick stock photos. Only prototypes exist, and if that one in the pictures is yours I'd say you have a rare gem there.

So other than the Natick photos online and the ones I posted 10 years ago...this may be the only example out there.
interesting

I have one of these. I was in the control group eating mres on the test at Camp Ethan Allen conducted by Natick Labs. At the end of the test, they gave us a souvenir. Somewhere I had a group photo of the test particpants, also a photo of me coming out of the dunk tank (for measuring body fat %).
