Around 44 many of the truck's stowage brackets went from taking the 2 galon POWs to using Jerry cans. Often there would still be a holder for the 1 gallon can since there was not a 1 gallon equivelent jerry can. Of course, this varied between vehicle set-ups.
Nice find. Seems like the one gallon can only gets found on a 10 to 1 ratio vs the more common 2 gallon can. We have a couple of the 4 gallon cans in the parts room here at work.....even rarer than the 1 gallon, but mostly due to their "flimsy" design.
