The sling, if real, should be WaA stamped on the side of the metal buckle. The metal parts would have been blued originally. The black paint is definitely not wartime applied.

The can looks like an original that has been repainted in a postwar green.

IMO the sling is original.
I can barely see a WaA in post 1.
The hooks seem to be repainted but I know original samples originally black painted.
The can,although original, has been completely repainted, most likey post war.
