Yes norge, that could be right 8) ! What is the opinion of the former GIs here :) ?

Perhaps I have to add the note that all shown cans are still closed with contents :) !

MREheater72,

Yes, it could be that something way too heavy was put on top of them and it crushed the tops. Unfortunately it was't enough to rupture them or crack the tops. Your very lucky.
