Here are a couple of old news clippings from the Stars & Stripes. The one on the left describes the 1963 contest winner, the clip on the right has the 1962 winner, so apparently Lever Brothers ran the sweepstakes for several years in the early '60's. That company put out a number of different products, but I think the most likely to contain the military offer would be something like All Detergent, or Rinso Detergent, which were packaged in cardboard boxes.
Funny thing - I happened to be on a TDY trip to Japan and was stationed at Tachikawa AB for a couple of weeks in late 1963, so maybe I bumped into the contest winner?
