The hinges will work on a flat or curved lid about 2.5-3cm thick (estimated), basically the right angled piece is set into the inside of the lid with the looped end outside of the box, one hinge looks like its been bent out of shape so it no longer forms the right angle.
That said the "floor boards" covering the box were likely the lid, so I would say flat.
The bottom tongue and groove is speculative, could it be the plain repaired "side" with no dovetails is from the bottom?

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
