It'll be a while before I can photograph them, but I'll see what I can do. You'll also find numerous photos here on the forum of these boxes.
I wouldn't call them cases really. They are red sorta-cardboard boxes, and were used for most awards (orders and medals) except for the Mother Heroine, which had a series of three blue boxes (one for large doc, one for small doc, and one for MH star). With all of these, they'd be easily crushed if you sat on them or slammed a fist down on them, unlike the plastic cases you'll see from later awards in some countries.
I've probably got spares of all (the red ones and the MH ones), but I don't know how long I'll have access to them. I'm moving soon, so all my odds 'n' ends are getting packed up.
