I don't know a thing about Burns LTD or this case, never saw a picture like this before.
But the wooden dowel fastener did catch my eye. I seem to remember the ChiCom bandoleers for the SKS having a similar fastener.
Did the British also use the ChiCom style fastener???

As you can see both the 1928 and M1 are a good fit. Since the pouch can be closed at two points I wonder if it fits a Sten at the shorter length. I don't have a Sten to confirm that but it does seem a reasonable possibility.
I also obtained mine on eBay but from a seller in England some time ago.

Wooden dowel button is straight from the British Navy issue duffle coats.

I read that the ones dated 1944 were produced in the preparation for the anticipated invasion of Norway at the closing stages of WW2, which never happened due to the German surrender. So the majority are found in excellent condition, as they were never issued. Two sizes were produced, one for the BREN, and a smaller one for the Thompson/ STEN.
Stay safe

I have a couple of the snow cases for the Thompson's. One is shown in the Thompson Canvas Items pinned section. I'll have to dig the other out and post a pic of it. Two different manufacturers.
Slight difference in size, but not Bren size, but slightly longer.
