Did you ever consider just being marking it with an identifying number or a serial number stenciled on? Perhaps that would make it would make it more intriguing. Or something along the lines of US GOVT PROPERTY. As I wrote this I was reminded of how they boxed up the Ark in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Since the item in question has been kicking around for a couple years, look at storage containers that would have been used when the item was first sealed up.

some of those stickers do look quite novelty but when weathered work well

here is them on a makeup case+weathering

All but the green customs labels are on my Sonar Buoy tubes.
Sonar buoys are dropped from aircraft to find submarines.

The tubes are quite often used as props and set dressing in the Star Trek shows and movies usually with bubble wrap around them and painted silver.
I left mine as is since I like the graphics on them.

I've been around a lot of secret-squirrel equipment in my time. You can PM me if you want and I'd be able to give you accurate guidance for what it'd most likely look like. I helped someone on a fake nuke recently for a film school project...
Do NOT use that silly looking 'top secret' logo. Any former military types would laugh at that.
Also, you normally don't see agency logos on something unless it's a case, and rarely ever even then. They might write the name of the agency but the logos usually don't get put on them.
NASA rarely has their logo with military projects, unless it's something they're launching or testing. They also don't put their logo on a lot of stuf funless it's something you'd see in an office.
