question about Aussie water bottle

[topguner]

I picked up an Ausssie plastic water bottle last week. Do any one know if this is for Aussie army or not?

its the same style.

the colour of the one im holdng is slightly different and it has different writing etc. on it, but the shape is the same.

I doubt it's issue. All mine have the "chicken foot" moulded into the lid, side and base. Should also have words to the effect of not applying direct flame or heat.

It should have a NSN # on it.
