I think its a US stove but we used to have these in Australia. I had one in my Leopard Tank.

 

We called them "stoves exploding"

My step-father was a cook in WW 2. Lots of interesting  stories.

In the mid 1960s he operated an elk hunting guide and outfitting service in the mountains of southern Colorado.

We had return customers for years that said the guiding service was good, but they came back for the food.

He could make a delicious meal out of the simplest ingredients on the most basic equipment, and have it ready amazingly fast.

Uncle Sam trained him well.

I have a Coleman Model B46 GI Stove. It looks similar to the one below except mine is complete with the funnel and wrench/handle. 

 

  

I've tried to cook on it a couple times but the flame it too hot to do much other than boil water.

Picture with all the accessories.

My dad was a cook in WWII, south pacific. On a tangent, my wife and I volunteered a few days at an evacuee center in San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina. Much of the chow we had was made in field kitchens by the Mexican Army. Not bad stuff. First time the Mexican Army was on Texas soil in....a long time. Ate a time or two with FDNY firefighters from NYC.
