Snap-on or Stack-on?? Help identify?

[hemifalcon]

SO--here are some pictures of a tool chest and roller drawer set a friend of mine is interested in.. and--I think the top chest is a Snap-On but the bottom is clearly a STACK-ON as it is pressed into the top drawer of the roller portion.
Can anyone identify whether the top chest si a very old KR-56. That looks like a very old "Snap-On" sticker on the top--but it's only a "sticker". I can't make out that oval-round stamping in the center of the cover.
Any help would be greatly appreciated before my friend bids any higher!!

I beleive snap on stamps the numbers on the back of the chests. That should clarify things if you have the capability to check.

Bottom looks like it could be an old Mac or Waterloo.

Neither one of those boxes are Snap On.
Top, IDK, I want to agree with Crew about it being a Hout, I can't remember who used that center oval.

Bottom, I'd agree with Lookin' Water or Mac/Matco. Leaning towards waterloo.

Even though they aren't snap on, they look like quality boxes, if you need a box and the price is right I would go for them.

I will also agree the the top is most likely a huot which are very good boxes. I don't know about the bottom. Most stack on boxes I have seen were cheap clones of SO. It doesn't look enough like a waterloo or Mac for me to say it is one of those. Now I don't know the history of stack on so I can't really weigh in on the bottom. The top is worth checking out, it the bottom feels like a sturdy well build box, most likely it is. If it feels like tinnny ****, well.
