Suit/Case alludes to the insistence [or not] of memory. It "was" what you "saw," you "saw" what it "was" defines itself as a shadow-play that changes on the wall as the viewer moves or as the illumination changes it’s relative position or brighter/dimmer. The two panels represent either lens or screens with handles to carry the illusions of what one "saw" as well as what it "was" and set the stage for the arguments in explanations of memory that states the case of what one "saw" to suit the need of what "was."
