Red enameled cup does not fit to the 1942 canteen bottle. It must have been made later.

It's not true. I have one with red stell cup and 41 dated body. I think that when they threw out these unfinished cups they used what they had to complete these canteens, reusing stock funds or reconditioning broken or damaged pieces.
This is an stunning example

I agree with Mulon. War time reconditioned model - new straps & cup.

Interesting information, thanks. It must have been a "very late" 1941. I've never seen 1941 steel canteen cup.
