The "swastika" on the Oorand tent is NOT a swastika.If you look at it carefully the top bar starts at the west and goes easterly before turning south where it again goes easterly to the end. A swaskika of the nazi era has the top bar starting in the east, moving westerly, turning suth and then again to the west where it ends.

I guess I just could have said that the Oorang symbol is just a reverse of the nazi swastika.

Now with that said the symbol on my Pacific Coast Biscuit tin is of the nazi swastika style.
