I bought two of the VEVOR Jerry Cans to add to the two surplus military cans I already owned. Overall, they are similar in appearance and design. While both versions are very functional, there are two noteworthy differences. The thickness of the metal of the military ones is a bit thicker, but the VEVOR ones are still sufficient. However, the lid assembly on the VEVOR are more secure than the mil surplus ones. Overall, I like the VEVOR more, and will be purchasing additional ones.
