In the 20th century (1900's) the US Army had a 1 quart aluminum canteen, shaped like a water bottle, but indented on one side (appearing to form to a man's hip, but probably to make it easier for a man's hand to better grasp the canteen). During the Vietnam War, this same aluminum 1 quart canteen became an olive drab colored plastic canteen. In about 1970, GI's in Vietnam were being issued the new plastic 2 quart olive drab colored canteen; square shaped with the cap on one of the corners of the square.
