Overview
The Pelican case used in Jurassic Park is a King Pelican 1600 (grey) case. It's contents included a searchlight, flares, and a fire extinguisher.
The notable screen accurate features include a non-folding handle, black purge valve located directly below the handle, a lack of "fins" on the corners of the case, and the Pelican logo on the front.
There are other variations of the King Pelican 1600 that are very close to screen accurate but not 100%. Some cases may have fins on the corners, but these can easily be shaved down to bring it closer to screen accuracy. Additionally, some King Pelican cases will not have a purge valve.
Furthermore, it seems that the pelican logo between the "fins" and "no fins" case might have changed slightly. The case with tabs seems to have smaller lettering, subtle differences in the pelican, and the "Made in USA" was changed to just "USA".
In the video below, Cyrix9445 discusses the King Pelican 1600 as well as its contents.

Before Alan Grant opens the Pelican Case in Explorer 05, you can see one side of the case is already opened. This could be explained by 1 of 2 reasons.
