Garfield,

I don't recall seeing surplus canteen covers with snaps until the late 1960's... but I may be wrong (it happens!)

Are you thinking of the Lift-the-Dot fasteners? They are what I remember being on WW2 and earlier equipment cases and web gear... or is my memory having a "senior moment" ???
