Civil War Canteens????

are these civil war canteens the far right one of them appears to say maybe 5th Michigan here at my local shop.

No, there may be the possibility that they were surplus and retrofitted for IW and Span AM, but they have canvas covers and only appear to have two sling guides. Issue US spheroid canteens have three static sling guides, two on the upper sides and one on the bottom; they are also generally covered in wool.
