Same here. The only time the '58 bino case was ever used in my experience was for M79 rounds as by happy coincidence 3 x HE fitted perfectly inside and the padding gave better protection than the cotton bandolier they came in. The rubber armoured binos with mils graticules which appeared in the late 70s were supplied with no cases at all.
