A flimsy
Here is a picture of a flimsy on the dingo I used to own and a wartime picture. The can skin is very thin and has no handle or spout with cap etc. Am happy to take all round views of can if folk would like me too. The can size is not too dissimilar to the wartime biscuit tins.

That's it ! Notice the can in the original photo has a pumped up appearance. I once sat a jerry can of petrol in the sun with a pressure gauge installed. The gauge showed the pressure developed to be 3 psi and it wasn't a particularly hot day.
What a horrible container for use in a hot climate. Imagine trying to pierce one of these whilst pressurised in the heat. There must have been some shocking accidents with people and vehicles being doused in petrol. This is quite apart from the likelihood of the can leaking or rupturing while being transported under these conditions. David
