Z serial isn’t 1991. It’s about 2006

I guess you bought it second-hand, then. And apparently it came with the wrong box. Most early 1990s subs/gmts/expl came with this box (one long pillow, "landscape" outer box), but some also came with this one (one long pillow, "world map" outer box). And a few came with this box if the AD had some remaining boxes from the previous generation.

Z is from 2007 not 1991. 1991 would be X or N.

Any period type small box from mid 2007 on will do, as there is no real correct box as back then the box you got was whatever the AD had on shelf at point of sale.

Look boxes are are in several parts of the world so numbers do not matter, just get a small period type box for your production date watch. As I already said back in those days especially late 1990s into 2000 you got whatever box AD had on his shelf point of sale.
