Both of them are called gasoline bottles, since it's a translation for American English. If it's from British, it's called as petrol bottles. But back to reality, "petrol bottle" is rarely used. The common term is "petrol bomb". Just reminder, bomb can be in bottle or anything, as long as it explodes.

We must use the common term, not the direct translation. There are some translations that need to be edited a bit so that it fits the actual term used in a language. For example, petrol station term is used in British while gas station is used in America. British uses "petrol" while America use "gasoline", whereas they are the same thing. Americans always like to be different from British.
