Instant Postum Beverage package in OSS display

Does anyone know why there is an Instant Postum Beverage package in the display with OSS material?

And the package has not the same appearance as most commercial cans.

Hi Antoon
This can label was used on the large thermite well if I recall correctly.

Sorry Antoon - I meant small thermite well, apologies.

Switch,

Thank you very much.

Like you said only the label, because the normal Instant Postum Beverage package has round corners, and the one on the picture has rectangular corners like the small termite well.

I think this camouflage will not always work because it is a typical American product that you will not find in all countries where OSS was active.

If you know a large thermite well for sale, please let me know.

Greetings - Antoon
 
Hi All just my small contribution to this thread.

Here is some details of the small and large thermite wells used by the OSS.

I hope this helps.
