interesting, thanks so much. from quick googles I had found this thread that said the razor was a standard service set but that the case could be from this french service set:

I've seen a few on eBay that look like this with the same handle and the case is more blue than green so that could just be lighting here.
also this thread that looked like it was as it came, not mix and match but then that was a long slot head. and this. etc.
I guess there are no standards but it's possible that one of these razors did originally come in the tin.
I actually have that little tech handle from the 40s set too. it came to me with no head or box so I put a new made in china super blue head on it and use it as my travel razor and really like it.

Mr Razor also shows this alternative Service Set which sports the handles that your have:
