Unknown oil container?

Hello again,
Can anyone i/d this oil container?
It's for oil at one end, and empty at other, (for cleaning patches)?
The empty end screw cap has a leather plug?
SMLE bottle for comparison.
Grateful for any ideas.
Cheers,
navyman.

Repro WW1 Poster

Bought this WW1 Poster at an antique store today. It's may be a reproduction but it was only 7 USD.

Also when I tried to remove the back of the frame I found a painting that was being used to support the poster...
