Default There is a slight difference

in the dimensions of the base of these cans.

I found that civvie cans won't fit in the POL can holder of my C8AX, whereas all the military ones I have do:- W^D, C^ and D^D

The base is about 1/16 inch narrower, (I guess that won't show in 1/35 scale)

On the top of those civvie cans in raised pressed lettering it states:
under the handle:- "Petroleum Spirit"
and below that:- "Highly Inflammable"

The War Department cans also have the "W^D" and the date and the same as above.

There are no markings on the top of the canadian cans except for the C around the broad arrow

I'm sure someone will post pics, also showing the stamping of the base

Rob
