I've seen NSNs on listings of military surplus (both used and new-old stock) for a while, and determined that only the items that actually had a NSN shown were the genuine article and not repro. There's a site ArmyProperty.com that has a lookup of NSNs to goods, which is pretty handy.
As far as gas/water cans go, olive-drab.com has some detail on how they went from metal to plastic.
