Recently purchased this via eBay. The seller believes it was for hydraulic fluid. But I haven't seen any supporting information on that. I'm guessing oil or hydraulic fluid? I plan to patch the rust pits/holes with some Bondo and paint appropriately. What would be the correct (ish) color and markings? I hope to use this as part of our living history displays where I set up a motorpool impression with my Army Air Forces group.
Thanks

Oliver,
Thank you that gives me some ideas. I guess a common shade of OD same as on the Jeeps will have to suffice for can color. But at least now I know how I can properly mark the contents.
