Thanks Matt,

Bergflak (Reidar) has also confirmed this...
This one came with the MG13 sold from Germany to Portugal, and never saw any German service. It has the typical pre 1939 camouflage. The typical set-up for the MG34 was a standard 300 round box with two of these cans.

The Petroluem cans are standard German WW2 issue.
