I did fresh install of Thief 2 and even managed to install T2Fix 1.27e without any problems, but my problem wasn't solved. Crate is still unfrobbable after listening to victrola and again T2Fix didn't update scripts in this mission. I still have the same old NVS110.osm from 17.08.2008 and tnhS.osm from 11.05.2005. Also I never used any mods.

Did you check the install 'common script module' when installing T2Fix? You need that to load newer scripts I believe, I know a number of things do not load with out that (such as the FMDML package)

But I don't have this option during T2Fix install. I start with path where T2 is installed, then I need to select components (Newdark 1.27, Dromed 1.27, Multiplayer and Legacy Executables - I only chose Newdark 1.27. Afterwards is video configuration, installation options (install OpenAL Soft, libmp3lame and cleanup install directory. Lastly there is desktop shortcut. In configuration options I have video configuration and general configuration (disable training scripts, enable legacy gamesys exploits and always install 1.18 resources). I don't have any option to install common script module.

Yeah, eventually I realized that I should download T2Fix with mods. That's really weird that this option is in T2Fix with mods, but you want me to play this mission without mods. I checked this option, but result is still the same - T2Fix didn't update scripts. I noticed that NVScript.osm in OSM folder is even newer than I had, so I tried to switch it manually. It helped a bit - I can't move during conversation at the beginning like it was intended, but crate is still unfrobbable.

Well that's me done with my suggestions I'm afraid. I asked you to install without any mods to eliminate any of those being the cause of your issues, a necessity when trying to resolve such issues. I'll post a query on Shadowbox but it may be a little while before we get an answer as Jax hasn't been around for some weeks, and he's the script guru.
Here's a (
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tj3l4arALqptkD9sxuOLQFOeEa32bLVe/view?usp=sharing) save with the crate already moved if you want to carry on playing, but I can't guarantee you won't come across further issues.

Glypher says there is nothing wrong with the crate (nor is it linked to the victrola), but you do need to stand on the side where the purse is for it to highlight.
Regardless he has added the latest scripts to the archive which you can d/l from Darkfate (
https://darkfate.org/view/details/files/fan-missions/thief2/deceptive_perception_2) here. That's got to sort your problem, surely. :)
Edit: Darkfate link updated, zip including latest script now also on GDrive.

Thanks for save, fortuni. I managed to progress with it. As for updated version of mission, unfortunately I can't download it anything from cloud.mail.ru. Something there loads, but nothing is going on. Clicking at download button do nothing, so unfortunately I can't check if this version work or not.
Edit: With save I managed to get to sewers, but again I have problem with highlighting. This time 1st key in sewers (under corpse in flooded room) can't be highlighten. That's really unfortunate.

According to Mr G the mission doesn't load any latest scripts, so it's not a script loading issue.

They don't load not only for Galaer, but for everyone. Because the author gave the mission script modules other names.
PS. Did you check from which side you tried to push the crate? Only works from side where the purse is.
PPS. Reported broken link, will let you know when fixed.

I tried to push this crate from all 3 sides and the top and I was very close to it. I also tried to back off a bit, but it didn't work either. I have some problem with highlighting some items and objects that should be maybe possible to frob after certain events will happen. It's a bit weird that there was no connection between crate and victrola. I actually read that you must first listen to victrola in Ricebug's walkthrough and considering what event is happening in next room, listening to victrola would make sense.
Also I have no idea if link is really broken or just cloud.mail.ru doesn't work for me anymore. I had crazy idea to use scripts from fixed version of Hammerite Deathmatch, but once again cloud.mail.ru didn't work for me.
