Is that better?
Yeah telling the difference between Japanese/Chinese crown tops and European crown tops is difficult, but I think it's only the ABM or later BIM ones which could be confused for North American bottles. For example, I've never seen or heard of a turn-mold crown top of North American manufacture. Generally the only ones I'm confident in stating are Asian are the ones with a distinctive ring around the neck or with Asian embossing, but there are plenty where I would be highly surprised if they came from anywhere else based off their crudeness.
As for European bottles, I've been looking for old ads. Here's a British one from 1915:https://www.illustratedfirstworldwar.com/page_turner/sphere/sphere.html#page/31

I haven't had much luck finding others yet, there don't seem to be a lot of old British newspapers and magazines available for free online and I haven't been able to find ads of any sort that depict beer or soda bottles from Continental Europe.
