Re: British made cans
Today I was given a 1943 BMB made British Jerry Can.
It is rusted and in need of a new paint job.
What would have been the original color?
Sand yellow or rather green?
Thanks

Re: British made cans
Hi Johan,
I got a couple of '43 dated British jerrycans.All of them are sand yellow.One has the green color underneath.
So I would go with sand yellow.
Cheers,
Stijn

Re: British made cans
Akiss,
The only picture of this type W^D can that Philippe Leger shows in his book is dated 1943.
Look for a date in the area of the red circle.
