I seem to recall the Brits having lots of trouble with their gas cans
bursting/exploding in the desert in N Africa early in the war. They adopted the
German gas can design (hence the name Jerry Can).

The problem with the early gas cans is that there was no room for expansion as
the can could be filled right to the top unlike the present Jerry Cans.

Maybe these cans are them...
