No clue from that picture. The military of the world are famous for Generic packaging.

yep that's why a look at the bottom to see if it has a 7 or 9 digit nsn on it would be helpfull that would give me some sort of date period, and if all it is , is a PN# then that would more than likely be ww1 or 2

It says MB.6 or M8.6. on the side close to the bottom that's all the numbers on the can.
I didn't find it myself and for all i know it could be found on a European battlefield (great help) somewhere.

Anything made for the us services would have had the USN or US Army etc on it.

or it would have had a Stock No on it.
