    the battery earth is already there (you can just about see it in the pic)
    my gearbox is already earthed on an earth strap elsewhere so whereabouts on the box would this one connect?

    That earth shouldn't be there, someones added that on extra. I'd just ditch it if the car runs/works fine.
