The true military (metal) ammo cans are (supposed to) have a rubber gasket between the top and the body. (Just checked one, it does.) Perhaps that would allow some EM leakage?
It would not be hard to scrape a bit of paint off and solder or silver solder a ground strap (or foil) bridge between the lid and the body (perhaps on the inside for durability) but I’m not sure if that solves the (potential non?) problem?
