I am really unsure where the above came from ..........What stops the water getting in. There are no seals on the box so water will get in. Roof box from Halfords will have weather seals. How much does the box weigh and how are you going to mount it. How much payload do you have. Have you weighed it with all your stuff in, this includes you and any other passengers + water, fuel and food. What are your axle weight limits.
Nice oneIf you look on the sister site “ motorhome builder “ I fabricated an aluminium box to cover the rear end of the chassis. The best part of a day was spent. With wages being so high these days the hourly rate can be frightening.
When I looked at those Halford roof boxes one of my initial thoughts was any thief would look at it and think 'easy', even if wrong they will damage it. Whereas the box says 'you will have to do some work to get in here'What stops the water getting in. There are no seals on the box so water will get in. Roof box from Halfords will have weather seals. How much does the box weigh and how are you going to mount it. How much payload do you have.

I asked for some opinions on the price of a box and can't see the relevance of your mass of questions

Try looking at garden storage boxes they will do what you want in plastic and cheap compared to vehicle specific styles or spend £250 on used fiamma ultraboxp.s. i am looking for one, in plasteek, ok.pj. to go on my bike rack, thanks.

Thanks for taking interest with regards to CoG, I am completely unsure how you arrived at those figures but they are reassuring, but it is already a tippy/top heavy camper. The track width of the L300 Delica is not very wide, so I am going to proceed with caution. I have contacted the manufacturer asking for the boxes weight.
sorry not best photo but the best I've got on the laptop. You can just make out the bottom of the red mud guards
