Are the holes on the box holes or printed on?
If they're holes, which I'm guessing they are, from the location and the location of the label I'd think that the box was at one time a file copy of the box that was stored flattened in a binder. Later on someone built it up as a box and added the filler. Could be for a historic display, or just to increase the display value for a collector later on.
Some of my modern boxes I kept unflattened, but as I need space occasionally I'll flatten one. A few of the fragile older ones I built boxes inside them and wrapped the whole thing in plastic.
If they're printed on, it's a bit more of a puzzle.
I'd think the other items were also file copies of either the point of sale materials, or the advertising sent to stores to promote the special boxes.
All really cool stuff either way.
