I think that’s “Gerry” cans; for the Germans.
And IIRC, The Coasters included ALONG CAME JONES in an album, among with YAKKITY-YAK, LOVE POTION #9, etc.

That term “Jerry” was always spelled with a J in the old war-story comic books.

The style of the cans translates somewhat to our current red polyethylene five-gallon gasoline cans.
