I found your posting by accident. There is no way of knowing what the 2 stands for. I don't think your box is plated. It would be unusual for a plated box to be constructed like yours, and enameling is not cheap, nor does yours look cheaply done. Please get a loupe and look around the outside edge of the top, the part that fits into the bottom. Look there for a mark, perhaps rubbed and very small.
