I don't recall seeing an EIIR letter box of this type before. I understand this is a "Ludlow" box, named after the Birmingham manufacturer James Ludlow, made for use at sub-post offices between 1885 and 1965. Manufactured from sheet metal and wood with distinctive enamel plates they are apparently more prone to rot than cast iron boxes.
