It would be the maroon hinged "Patent box". Not the two piece box. It would look like this, except this one is for a target M&P (the standard M&P would have a different label).
... and it would have the pre-war "Helpful Hints", like the one in this photo (the photo is of an early K-22 Outdoorsman that shipped in a M&P Patent box).
Hope this helps,
