I thought the box was used, as is, for a stand - the covers were set open/upright, and the sucepan/kettle sat on that.Turn the box upside down for a stand

looks like the meths burner from a trangia

Also, lid has to be off. The meths in the centre is set light, and, as it starts to boil, the flame transfers to the ring of holes.
I think it's a spirit burner. As James said it looks like the Trangia burner but the military ones have looked like this since 1964. Might be an older version.
This one was soon nicknamed " the filthy jar", guess why
