I am unsure how different examples of rectangular poisons there are but there are quite a few.  They come in all shades of blue and green, amber, aqua, ice blue, and clear.  The lips vary according to age and manufacture but again include:  stardard, Corbyn type, shear lip and ground glass stopper types.  Embossing varies widely and some are branded and have company names, hospital names or other.  All the bottles tend to have two panels of vertical ribs on each small side and then a front panel with vertical ribs between which there is embossed writing, either raised, sunken or on a panel.

The rectangular bottles embossed "SULPHOLINE" are only found in cobalt blue and aqua.  In fact they only come in 2oz and 4oz sizes also.  Their lip is standard although the cobalt blue examples often are slightly elongated in length.  All the bottles have two panels of vertical ribs on each small side and then a front panel with vertical ribs between which there is embossed raised writing.

The other 2oz glass ones that I have (from left to right) are as below:

 1)  Variation:  Cobalt blue, standard but elongated lip, cork, raised embossing

      On Front:  SULPHOLINE
