| Liners were replaced often so nothing on that is going to help you. The fact that there are no dents in it would seem to indicate it was of a later make but no guarantee of that either. They were painted and repainted many times so being completely OD is not a sign of age. The only thing I can tell you for sure is that they were first issued in 1942 and went out of service in the regulars about 1984 and in the reserves about 1986.
