    Kriegsmarine gas mask canister?

    Hi,
    While describing history of this gas mask canister (on the left) I've noticed that the paint color looks strange. Is it possible that it's in fact Navy paint? Unfortunatelly I don't have any green painted canister to compare it with this item but on the photo you can see canister in Luftwaffe paint (on the right). So I'd like to hear your's opinions in this matter.



    Secondly, this item ended it's service in hands on this men below. What does mean this last writing after "I Zug"? Is it Reichswehr eagle in the left corner?



    That's a lot of questions, hope you'll be able to help me.
    Best regards and thanks in advance.

    It looks like the canister on the left has 2 layers of paint on it.
