Good question. Most likely a plain brown kraft box, similar to the Commando boxes.
There is the famous photo, also reprinted in Pate, of BSR Victorys being unpacked in Britain which appears to show such packaging.
Interestingly, while there are quite a few newish unissued Commandos in original boxes around (as well as plenty of new "replica" boxes, a.k.a. fakes), I have never laid eyes on a documented original US Victory box. But there are others here with a lot longer exposure than I've had, so maybe someone has a picture of one.
