The distinctive point
Australian stubby or can (375 mL): a rule rather than an average
The matrix treats this value as exact because its recorded basis is published-serving-volume. The interesting distinction is epistemic: a defined standard can be converted without an uncertainty band, while reconstructed ancient standards cannot inherit that certainty.

What this unit was
Australian stubby or can (375 mL) is modelled here as a liquid standard of the Australian serving guide tradition, associated with Australia during Current common packaged serving. The converter represents one mL as 0.375 L; its basis is published-serving-volume. This is a defined or exact matrix anchor.
Within that setting, the unit belonged to a working system for storage, rations, trade, and the circulation of drink or other commodities. It should be read with its period, locality, and evidential basis attached, not as a universal value shared by every culture using a similar name. A vessel name is not automatically the capacity of every surviving vessel.
Evidence of use and sources
The working value is traceable to Queensland Health alcohol guide. Its record is classified as exact confidence and uses the stated basis rather than an assumed culture-wide constant.
Local-library boundary. The supplied local library has no directly pertinent quotation for this tradition. The linked record source supports the stated conversion; three relevant local quotations require a dedicated source acquisition.
