Got one here, almost identical to the one in the photo with "ajungilak" in raised yellow lettering on the handle. You could try their website? I bought it in a camping shop in the UK.

I am going over there (to Sweden that is) to visit my parents as today actually. I could have a look around (I think there is a place where there might be plenty of them) and bring some with me. I will let you all know in a day or two if I have found any and those how are intersted can simply PM me and we will arrange something. The benefit will be that you will not have to pay for overseas postal since I am based in Edinburgh. Anyone interested?

I snapped up a bunch of those a few years ago. My favourite cups.
But there are two different kinds. I "believe" that the one you've shown is the older model. The newer (and I "believe" they are) model has a much flatter bottom. The one you've shown has very little of the bottom that actually makes contact with a surface, making it very tippy. The newer ones are also a softer plastic, and a slightly lighter shade of OD.
Here's a little something I put together to demonstrate the differences.
Pretty neat when it dawned on me that the rounder one would fit perfectly in the mess kit. Mind you, that leaves room for little else. but pretty awesome design.

I know this won't be much help to most of you, but last time I was in Sweden I visited a food supermarket/surplus store (I know its a bit of a weird mix, but you had to see it to believe it) on the outskirts of Uddevalla which had a box of about 400 of the things.
I also saw them in a camping shop in Gothenburg city center shopping mall.
Nearer to home, I stumbled accross an online uk surplus store a couple of weeks ago which had them. Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me remember which one it was .
If I can find it again I'll let you know.

Unfortunately the food supermarket/surplus stores (a store chain that actually originated as a government surplus store in Gothenburg) have stopped the surplus part. So now there is no reason whatsoever to go to the Ö & B stores.
