Yes that sounds right. I think it was in a centaur manual where I saw the line drawing. The canb which has turned up in Western Australia was galvinised as well.

We had a good number of Valentines shipped here after the war without turrets to be used as agricultural tractors and land clearing machines. Maybe the can came with one of them.

Cheers

Default strange water can

Thanks everyone for your ident. on the water can. I shall never own a tank but I have a universal mk.2* carrier and I put one of these cans on the rear offside deck and it looked fine with the water tap just clearing the outside edge. May paint up the cans and strap them on there. John.

They were often fitted to the track guards on Cromwell as their usual place in the turret takes up a lot of room, Cromwell having three.
