Cylinder (tin/can) No.720 Mk.1 stencilled for use with 7 cartridges 1.5" Anti-Riot Irritant L2A2, manufactured by Schermuly Pistol Rocket Apparatus in 1961.
Notice that the lid has a small sliding catch which engages under the rim of the container to cut the foil seal. See hangarman's post below for explanation.
This empty container and two others were found in South Africa, so the cartridges may have been used there.
