No, the placards on a military van container do not meet the requirement for placarding a vehicle. The vehicle itself must be appropriately placarded according to the hazardous materials regulations, which include displaying the correct placards based on the type and quantity of hazardous materials being transported. Simply having placards on the container is insufficient for compliance with vehicle placarding requirements.

The minimum weight for placarding a vehicle when hauling propane is 1,001 pounds (454 kilograms) of propane. This weight threshold triggers the requirement for placards indicating the transportation of a hazardous material.

Any time you're operating a for-hire vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of over 26,000 lbs., or any time you're operating a vehicle of any weight class which is either hauling a quantity of hazardous materials which requires placarding, or is designed to transport more than 15 passengers (including the driver). That's federal law.
If you're carrying quantities of oxyacetylene and oxygen which require the display of placards, and/or the vehicle has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs., then yes you do. If it's under 26,000 lbs. GVWR and you must show hazmat placards for oxygen and acetylene, you need at least a Class C CDL with a hazmat endorsement. If you're not carrying those commodities in a quantity which requires placarding, you don't need a CDL. If the vehicle is a single vehicle or combination of over 26,000 lbs. GVWR/GCWR, and there is no trailer or a trailer in tow is under 10,000 lbs. GVWR, then you'll need a Class B CDL (with hazmat endorsement if applicable). If the vehicle is a combination with a higher than 26,000 lbs. GVWR, and the trailer in tow has a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs., a Class A CDL is required (with hazmat endorsement if applicable).

It's determined by weight. Gasoline is Hazard Class 3, which requires placards to be displayed if more than 1,000 lbs. of it is being transported. One gallon of petrol weighs between 5.8 and 6.5 lbs, so you'd be looking at 153 to gallons (roughly) before placards had to be displayed.
