yeah, but was it 'stored away' on a normal occasion?
No, the Corbridge box was not a storage box specifically for one soldier's military equipment. It was a box full of metal junk to either be repaired or re-used by the fabrica. But, I see no reason why a soldier would not have his personal equipment stored in a box like it.
Here's Peter Connolly's exploded diagram of the hoard..
