I had a couple of discussions at the fall OMVA meeting about this topic and it was suggested that maybe all that this proved was that a special stove was issued with the Ram Tanks.* This prompted further investigation.

Jordan Baker identified the Model number as a Coleman 500 Speed Master and provided me with these links:

In the above image of B-squadron XII Manitoba Dragoons, 3 of the tall Canadian pots can be seen in the image and one of the Coleman 500 stoves (with bright plated tank) can be seen in the foreground.

Once the model was known,* google searches revealed a number of other Canadian war-time produced examples.* Some still associated with the original pot set.

This link provides a good general article on Coleman 500 production with some details about the military models:

Another example is presented at this link:* Unfortunately the linked images are missing but the thumbnails are visible in Google and are attached below. This example has a C-Broad Arrow stamped into the base. http://www.fotogenforum.se/fotogen/p...hp?f=21&t=1026
