Hello Maddog,
here.
Based on Your discription of the lathern, I think it is an Petromax (or Geniol) 829 500HK. Is this written on the plate at the lathern?
The drawings are linked here: exploded view and assembling drawing
And an other usefull manual ist:
a technical description on how to perform a complete cleaning and restoration of a PETROMAX 829 500The componets with its numbers are listed in the shop.

Hi Maddog,
your lamp(-box) was made from the 1950ies until the mid sixties for german army,
it contains several varieties of lightmethods to compare with the main lamp, as you mentioned the whitegas/kerosene-wicklamp, there are also two varieties of candlelamps, and an acethylene-lamp.
There is a Download-Link inside the arcive, here... still in german, but with pictures.
Hope this will help a bit:Best regards, Björn
