I may have been too flippant with my response. I've never seen a 40 pack box before but that doesn't mean it isn't original. I'd want to see it up close.
I do know that there have been many attempts at replicating / reprinting these cards. If you go to ebay you will see all sorts of additional players (vintage and new) with this design. I'm not sure if the box you are showing is from 1959 or not but I would just be careful ...
Typically the replicated / reprinted cards are fairly easy to spot as the background white is much brighter than you see on the originals. I expect if you look at the printing technique and compare one you know is an original with one you are not sure, that you will be able to detect a fake.
