The French canteen is a bit larger than the USGI, but the cover is usable. It has the old GI wire hook and a belt loop on the back. I know the aluminum French butterfly handle cups will fit over a USGI canteen, but they are showing an L-handle cup in their photo...which makes me a bit leary - European Issue Canteen Cups - they look a lot like the Dutch cups I have, but I might be wrong.
