Hello,
As the carrying straps are not german WWII, i highly suspect the paint of the canister to be the same
I handled a very small amount of genuine KM grey painted canisters in my collecting life and the grey was not the same as the one seen here.
IMO it was postwar repainted, given new carrying straps and reissued to firefighters or passive defense members.
Thanks

Also no-one has yet commented on the ink stamp on the spare lens compartment ..... very suspect!

I did not comment just because i realized it was there after i did read your comment. After watching the photo which shows the ink stamp, i don't like it.by Danmark
