Hello everyone! I found this K Ration on eBay.co.uk, and I'm wondering what parts of it are original.

The bars, sucrose tablets and stock seem original, but what else is? The sugar and coffee look modern.
Thank you!

The Sanka looks 60-70’s

I'm not sure they ever had sucrose tablets, just dextrose. And the label font looks funny.

On second thought, the Sanka and sugar are new.
Tasters Choice was in some early MRE’s if I remember. Otherwise the coffee and sugar was always in a generic mil pack.

None of those items are original K Ration contents.. The carton is also 100% non original.

Yeh, it does look pretty fake.

Isnt Sanka decaf? I dont think they would put that in a k ration.

Not even sure they had decaf during WW2.

Lol
I had to look it up, but sanka was 30s, so it was around, but not in rations

I'll bet its a reproduction for re-enactors to eat while playing war, whoops I mean re-enacting . The original dextrose tablets are square right? The modern equivalent are the round Survival Tabs, or Horlicks Malties candies. The rest of the items look like modern equivalents for the original items.
