Enamel Mugs of the British Empire

[08SMLE48]

Found this thread and was wondering if anyone has seen a mug like this or enlighten me on it.

As you can see it looks like a standard brown British one pint mug but has no markings in the enamel and has only two faint white paint markings inside of a rectangle.

It’s about 3.5 inches (9cm) high and 3.75 inches (9.5cm) across. I can’t make out the markings but I think they may be numbers.

Thanks in advance!

Then there were three.
Not too bad for $5 (about two pounds). The one on the left.

Here is my own rather ugly mug: from what I understand, it was made in India, but my question is do you think such mugs might have been carried and used by British or Canadian soldiers in Europe during WW2?

I know that the general consensus is that India catered for the South-East Asian theatre of operations and that shipping tin mugs around the globe wasn't exactly a top priority during the war, but, as black and white photos do not help much, would anybody on here know whether these green enamel mugs are attested in North-Western Europe in 1944 and later?

I've been reading, with quite some interest, some of these older threads.

Karkee, the Department of Defence D^D marking was introduced before WW1, to the best of my knowledge, it was first published in the Ordnance Store Services of the Commonwealth Military Forces - Department of Defence, 1910 - Marking of Stores (page 15). This marking, I will admit, is rarely seen till the interwar years, however this shouldn't automatically exclude anything marked with it being only interwar or later.
