two WW II US Army five gallon cans that were originally on a WW II US Army tank

20-30 years. </SPAN></DIV>

to make them in WW2. I’ve still got a 25 litre German jerrican in German field
grey stamped, “Wehrmacht. Afrika Korps 1942 – fur Kubelwagen”. Presumably it was
designed to clip on to the open-topped VW used by the likes of Rommel and
friends?</SPAN></DIV>

back to England is anyone’s guess, especially as it has two approx. 5 inch
diameter patches painted olive green welded to either face equally stamped on
the patches “British Fifth Army LRDG” which LRDG means Long Range Desert Group.
These were the guys who penetrated far behind enemy lines and made a nuisance of
themselves by blowing up supply lines and indulging in other unco-operative
initiatives. Dad used the can for years afterwards for kerosene to keep the kero
heater in our greenhouse at home going in the winter. It’s still good for use
and while it takes up a lot of space in my tiny workshop, I can’t bring myself
to be rid of it</SPAN><SPAN

Germans and the Allies used such a familiar design. Who copied who or was it two
