From Green to Black Petrol Cans but the same Lawnmower

The Green (US Army style) petrol or jerry can is no more, so a trip to B&Q was required and it looks like I have changed nationalities (see picture below, it has a certain er, how can we say Panzer feel to it?):  

Deployed in the field or rather back garden (see below, the question being is the Mountford lawnmower is a suitable stand in for a WWII armoured fighting vehicle?):  

Fun bit over, now I have to mow the lawn and combat teh wild verges (partisan territory if you ask me)!
