My topic title says it all – do you guys think the paint on this canister is wartime or do you think the paint is bad?

So far I don’t have better pictures. I think I will just pass from these pictures. Looking at the pictures again I don’t like it myself. The paint look odd. Probably a original rusty canister which have been spiced up with some new paint.
