The choice of values made me think of them as generic terms, rather than certain models of post boxes, as there's nothing in the key or values to suggest that these are (apparently UK-specific) styles of post boxes. So to clarify this: The "post_box:type" key describes the physical shape of the post box, the values are specific models of post boxes and are not intended to be than a universally applicable description of the mounting?
