Tony,
I think you will find that the British just took the German cans and "reverse engineered" them very early on in the piece - well before the American cans appeared and they were issued to the Middle East to replace the square "flimsys". They are identical to the German cans and far superior to the American cans which are hopeless to pour, absolutely needing an often damaged or missing pourer, and suffer leaks because of the fine thread caps. Why the Americans insist on still using these cans to this day beats me when the rest of the world is using the original German design.
