I would think that 99% of the ferret can brackets would have been the rounded style. Mind you, many of the Canadian ferrets also had locally made bracket/baskets which held both cans.
As to the water cans, the black plastic came in during the 70s I believe. Prior to that, the large mouth water can similar to the jerry can was in service. They are still to be found in excellent shape in the local military scrapyard.
The plastic jerry cans were a product of the mid 80s. There was also a more commercial design out there for a couple years in the early 80s, but it did not accept the horsecock, nor the fuel adapters for generators or yukon stoves. Seems to me Ed had photos of the various jerry cans in an article in Army Motors years back.
