Hi Jon,

I came across several unissued ones in Australia, released from their army. Shipped one back home and subsequently sold it to a re-enactor / collector. It was wartime dated. There was a TM with it, a poor photocopy, but I made a note of the number, it is TM10-703 Outfit, Cooking, Small Detachment.

A jerrican with a pipe and special adaptor was used to supply the fuel, the can being used on it side, filler to bottom. The are rated as 15-40 men units.

Richard
