Smile M1 Carbine Oiler Bottle

Hello!Could anyone tell me the exact size (length & outside diameter )of the M1 Carbine Oiler Bottle that was attached to the sling.I am tired of searching the internet and it seems that there is no or any particular size of this stuff.

Thanks & best regards

Just so you know Cheaper than Dirts are reproductions also. The sling tips are not correct for WW11 slings and the Description reads "Korean War style"
