This is probably an Australasian thing. Various oil companies must have aquired large numbers of them. Here in N.Z. they are commonly found in various forms, some painted white with " Mobil Oil Company " on them, some as "Shell Oil " in yellow. Some were just stensilled over the O.D.
Interestingly most have the same date pressed into the bottom. (20-5-42) if I remember correctly.
