Sorry, hate to bring this up, I apologize, really! I just wanna know!

Ok, I've got a USMC gas can (marked ICC-5L CONCO 20 5 1/4 43 on the
bottom)
Last weekend I picked up a water can. Large cam lock opening with integral
spout. On the edge of the cam it says "water". On the side is
"U.S.M.C." On the bottom is "CONCO" No dates anywhere. It is made of
Aluminum, not steel. It isn't lined.

Does anyone know the approx date of manufacture of this can. I don't
really care if it's United States Marine Corp or United States Metallic Can
or whatever, just if this is 1940's, 1950's or 1960's-1980's.

Thanks,
Brian Mead
