Mk 2 Carrier water can

[Colin Alford]

Gents,

There is an eBay.uk auction ending shortly. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224111402165

The listing includes the attached images.

A couple of years ago there were two of this style of can sold on eBay out of the Northern United States. The US seller claimed that the cans were issued with T16 Carriers. The painted part number was clearer on the cans from the US and I seem to recall that there was a letter prefix to the number (not readily visible in these images)

These cans do not conform to the standard colour scheme for Commonwealth water cans, and they have an added “Made in Canada” embossed on the base of the can which does not appear on most of the G.S.W. production.

Can someone with access to a T16 parts list determine if the painted part number/ designation is correct for the T16?
