Mystery 42 US jerrycan? See photos

Hi guys! Found this on sale on the web here in Argentina. Any idea as to what it is? Original? Modified? Haven´t found it in the Jerrycan book...

Thanks!

Any ideas, guys?

The only thing that I see that's out of the ordinary is the cap made from some old pipe fitting.

Hello
This water can was made by Arvin NSI in 1942.
The original cap has been replaced by a screw system

Hi Philippe! First of all, congrats for your excellent jerrycan book. I have the first one you wrote in my collection for several years now. It´s fantastic!

Regarding the can in the photos, in fact you are right. It´s been modified and neatly welded with a different cap.

Thanks for your time!

Cheers from Argentina!
