Yes well, that's a Monasco Ryan which normally used a crank. A great bloke who was party to introducing me to flying had me in his STM Ryan and I witnessed the same Bert Skinner get a clout on the hand at Camden when a restart was needed due to leaving same crank at Bankstown. I believe he died later, but I'm unsure whether it was related to the prop strike.
I know of one Ryan that had a Gypsy Major which needed the opposite swing ala Tiger Moth/ Auster. Did away with the crank which is one thing.
BTW, Austers had mag switches on port side instrument panel where the start required sliding window open for action if needed.
As for spam cans, the trailing edge of the airscrew was rather sharp and needed finger tips for the follow through.
