Just one minute ago I found on the G503 forum an excelent photo upload by Nakladatelství Maraton of a jeep in Sahara with a jerry can with QMC an G stamped on it.
Hello,

Your can likely had a similar journey across North Africa :D !

Great pics !

No thanks. I was in Morocco once and drove 1500 km, more than 1000 miles, and I do not want to go never again.

It is a very poor country but they are modernizing, but the hygienic conditions are awful and the towns or cities are terrible to drive and in very bad condition except the tourist parts.

Hello Tuareg
look what I found cleaning the tank with diesel
On the right marked in orange you can read some numbers.
Marked in green you notice a large green triangle.
These are the signs to specify the content inside the tank.
