[MV] Gas Cans & Bridge Markers

Hello List!
I have two gas cans I would like a little information about. Instead if the
usual U.S. stamped at the bottom these have U.S.A. on one side, and Q.M.C.
on the other. One is dated '45 the other '51. I assume these markings stand
for U.S. Army Quarter Master Corps. If so, how did the Quarter Master Corps
rate their own 'branded' gas cans and are these any more collectable than
regular U.S. marked cans? These are the only ones I have ever seen marked
like this.
Also, can anyone please tell me what exactly the Bridge Marker plate on
front of MV's represents and how to determine the correct number for a
given vehicle (in this case, an M43)? I have seen this question on the List
before but don't recall ever seeing an answer.
Any info on above questions very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Dan
