Military Jerry Can ?

[55 Fargo]

Hey all, bought this jerry can today at the local "dump". Paid a whole 3 dollars.

I see it is a 5 1/4 gallon, 20 litres, not sure if any numbers make reference to how old it is....

Those are pretty readily available still but the QMC markings could be military. Quarter Master Company?

Yup, found this after my post. Evidently it was painted red along the way. Most likely surplus dealers reselling them....a novelty item for the truck...
