And grills for slat grill Jeeps, by the look of it. Dimensions would help to work out the capacity of the tank. 6 1/4 gallons to the Cu.Ft. Metric is easier.

hi
they look quite nice,
I had a go at working out the dimntions based on the early tanks being 2 gallon POW cans, as the Austin ambulances had these fitted later in the war,
I guessed at 7 5/8" dia x 13 1/8" tall,
the small expansion pipe being 235 mm long running down the side of the tank,
othere sizes were 105 mm dia X 205 mmm high,
looks to be tin plate seams top and sides

i found this on the net sometime ago
