Interesting. Perhaps that early in the war the British military were using commercial cans.

I have had dozens on dozens of Cdn POW cans...most directly from the surplus stores that got them directly form the Cdn military. As well, I was picking up POW cans from a military dump in Borden, mixed in with coke bottles from the early 40s. I have never seen a Shell can in Cdn service.
