Ah, OK, they are the safe pieces. I couldn't immediately
find them, but I think I should have 4+ of those.
If you have two mailboxes in grey, I may be able to use them.

You get the idea, they have lots of uses. I'd be curious as to
what their first use actually was for.
  <snip>
The part was first used both for a letter-box in town and trains:
6362, 6372, 6374[1983], 6651, 7824[1983]
And then for a storage box in space:
6823[1983], 6844[1983], 6930[1983], 6951[1984], 6980 [1983]

OK  <grumble>  Since their first use was mailboxes, I guess I'll let
you call them that, ;-) but probably the best would be the more generic
"container" or 2x2x2 container box" that the LDraw reference uses:
