Ha! I won't guess then, because I don't want that old gas can anymore. But, the one on the left could be white oak. White oak is a funny thing, it has at least three different kinds of bark all on the same tree!

aspen / cedar
old ones
I have some old white oaks that are losing thier middle age bark sloughing off and exposing the smoother bark (old age bark) underneath. Kinda like an old man going bald.
edit: cedar or hemlock - hard to tell the two apart imo, when they are big and old unless you can get under it and look up.

I was going to say Sugar maple, and red maple.
i've not seen a silver maple with bark as tight as that picture - maybe its from a small tree.
