I was saving the best for last. The Pyrene extinguishers are my favorite, because they have the nice large DND ARMY on top for all to see, especially if you have them mounted in a carrier. I think I have 3 more nice ones squirreled away for the day I do finish my carrier.
Photo 1: The top of the extinguisher showing the embossed DND ARMY
Photo 2: Four of the extinguishers. Note the third one is in fairly rough shape. The tops can be de-soldered from these and smaller dents can be tapped out. If the bodies are especially bad, the tops can be straightened and soldered onto a civilian version of the same extinguisher in order to restore it.
Photo 3. Three decent shaped ones. The one on the end with the paper tag and the bracket is a civilian one which I transferred the top cap from a damaged military one.
