Box type ‘E’ can be found in use from 1964 onwards and with the similar model image as the type ‘D’ boxes. The major difference for this new type design was the position of the word ”Matchbox” it was now above the word ”Series” and not next to it as it was in the past.
The side tabs again were the point of difference between the variations on this box type.
