Guys,
Attached are a couple of pictures of 2 x 2 gallon cans which I have recently purchased. Now, the one marked PETROL dates from 1942 and appears to have No 2 Brown paint on with white lettering (albeit over painted). The other one, from 1943 is in karki with the words OIL stencilled on it in black. As far as I can tell this can is totally original, i.e. not over painted .
My question is : Were the Petrol and Water cans marked/stencilled in white, whilst the oil cans where only stencilled in matt black ?
I await your learned responses
Keith
