My mistake......... on walking in to my garage this morning, I spied a Shell can, and as Tony says, "SHELL" written vertically down the sides.
I use a Redline can for petrol and that has blank sides, must have been thinking of that. Most of the prewar cans in UK were made by Valor, who were famous for paraffin stoves. It was a standardised item and there were numerous different company names on them.
