Actually, taking a second look at the picture, I notice that the front latch is turned sideways. The little finger lift that is pointing to the left in the picture is pointing forward on my boat. I bet he just turned the latch so that it doesn't catch on anything. The lid won't lock, or even be latched shut, but it would be an easier installation job.
Here is a picture of a 95 boat and glove box. This box looks to be quite a bit larger than my box, so again I suspect he used the lid from a 91-94 boat. The picture doesn't show a lot of detail either, but it does look like MC was still using (and may still be using) the same hardware (hinges and latches).
