    @Razor6 ,
    thank you for posting. i dont have definitive answer just yet.
    a bit of a mix (still great!!) filler cap & control knob maybe earlier (pre-67) versus the rest (80s)?
    "111T", in-general, is well known, well used term :thumbup:
    w/o a deep dive to clarify (again), i take the T to stand for triple fuel.
    It is 1983/84 when Optimus actual name includes "T, Triple", that is:
    "111 Hiker Triple Fuel" (versions before that & after that, members might also refer to as 111T :thumbup:)

    Leads to question (thank you for pic of label but i cant read it), does your label say...
    ... " Optimus, For kero- sene, 111 " ?
    or
    ... " Optimus, For Kerosene White Gasoline Alcohol, 111 " ? [the "triple" fuel]
    or
    ... ? "_____ ?

    btw for info better identifying this example one can refer to pg 4 of OK, all you Optimus No.111 fans
    carry on
