I suppose it's possible that the Parisian Rite never told the British Rite about the box and it's location. I don't remember where it is said that the box was in the possession of the Parisian Rite for a while. I believe it was made reasonably clear that the Templar Admiral was delivering the package on behalf of the Templars in France. The Admiral was even referred to as an "errand boy".
