It's a pretty close copy. Way back in the day, I wanted some Troy boxes but Troy said he was out of the game. I mentioned this to my brother-in-law, who is a civilian mechanical engineer for US Army Aviation and he was like, no problem, let's do this. With my guidance, he drew them out in Solidworks. They were designed to use the Tuffy box locks so that I could get them keyed alike to my existing Tuffy center console. They have two grommeted holes (water jet) cut into the back, out of sight. I was originally going to mount ham radio gear inside them but changed my mind. One also has a Marinco 12V outlet on the side facing the rear of the truck, which you wire from the inside of the box via the hole in the hidden side. I used this to power my Engel fridge.

I took my brother-in-law's design and sent it off to a place called Rapid Sheet Metal that the Army uses for bespoke rapid prototyping. It was expensive as all get-out, almost $1300 back in 2010, but they water jet cut them out of 0.074 cold rolled steel, folded them up, welded them, and sent them to me a few days later. It was kind of amazing and I'm sure that this would take six months in this 2022 bullshit supply chain, but I got them.
I took them to a place in Colorado Springs that specialized in powdercoating high end bike frames and had them do the crinkle-coat semi-gloss black. It came out incredible. One of those rare Rover projects where the execution is as good or better as the original concept.
They're ridiculously stout and heavy. You could probably park a truck on four of them.
I still have the Solidworks CAD file in case I ever need to make more.
