Full Dress with canteens

I believe they are carrying the General Service Pattern 1895 Mk IV water bottle, which was in service until 1902 - pictured below without the cover. There is some additional information here: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/REL42422/

Thanks so much for identifying the specific water bottle!

In the Scots Guards photo the covers appear to have markings on them, stenciled perhaps?

Now I know what to look for, thanks again.

Googling found this, a place that sells reproductions:

Here's their photo; seems that they need a taller spout?
