2 LW fighters drop-tank in a french barn

Hello,
I've just found these 2 german 300 liters drop tanks in a barn.
The farmer remembered the drop of the tanks in a field near his farm in 1944 during a aerial fight .
One is in Alloy, and the other one is steel. Is there a late type to save alloy during the war ?
The alloy type still have about 40% of original paint with red markings ( Keine Bombe ! )
The both are in very good condition for a dropped tank and they were used by the farmer for a long time for gazoline tank for tractors.
