not to get to far off topic
In my Basic training at Fort Lewis (1966) I received c-rations, that were still the issue then, but these were in fact WWII issue.
I know because the Four Pack of cigarettes was lucky strike in a green pack. That was a big deal in WWII as Lucky advertised Luck strike green goes to war. Luckys were from then on white with a red center.
I lit one up and damn near burned my lips off. The Beef stew was not so good either.
