Cruvon, the outer box for your inner Bufkor box is an early 1980's box. (The inner box is late 1970's.) Somebody, somewhere, mismatched those boxes! Your outer box should have a lid that is green with no leather grain pattern. Here is a pic of the correct combination for the late 1970's Bufkor box which were used in the USA. The two other photos - the one with the GMT and accessories depicts the early 1980's Bufkor box and the third photo depicts the mid-1980's Bufkor box.
The progression of the Bufkor boxes goes like this:
late 1970's, light green lid (no leather-grain pattern on the lid), light green inner box
early 1980's, dark green inner box, dark green outer box lid with a course leather-grain pattern on both the outer box lid and inner box
mid- 1980's, dark green inner box, dark green outer box with a fine leather-grain pattern on both the outer box lid and inner box
