Canadian C13 shipping container

Ok, admittedly not the most inspiring item to post. But I was wondering why when its called a C13 does it have M67 on the shipping container? Cheers

The C13 is actually a Canadian Made M67. They probably buy the containers from the States.

Hi Daryl, Thanks for your comments. I'm pretty sure the yellow label was made by the Canadian manufacturer. Have you see a container with C13 on it? Cheers

The lot number indicates this particular item is from 1997. As I recall, this is pre C-13. This was likely a M-67 manufactures in the U.S. and then assembles or packaged in Canada. The C-13 comes in a container that is marked C-13.

There are several items like this. When the L83A1 smoke grenade was adopted he first lots came marked with British BKI's rather than standard lot numbers. Subsequent lots came with both BKI's (PWD 03 004) and standard lot numbers (CA02B05-02) on them. It is my understanding that future lots will only have the standard lot number with CA as the manufactures monogram.
