It might have been done with earht/rubble in some cases. About revetments made of petrol tanks I cite directly "Hurricanes over Malta" book by Brian Cull et all.

"In a matter of weeks, structures appeared in profusion as land was requisitioned around Luqa, Takali and Hal Far. [...] and 84 large pens built for Wellingtons and Marylands, and more than 200 smaller versions for Hurricanes and FAA aircraft, [...]. Initially the pens were made with sandbags and rubble, a method soon superseded by the use of discarded 4-gallon petrol cans, [...]. These wee filled with earth and limestone rubble, and used to create walls up to 14 feet high. It took 60000 such cans to construct three walls to house a Wellington [...]".

check also some pictures of Takali were you can have hints of revetments here and there

From the few pics availalbe, these were usually square in shape, sometimes with a curved prolongement to cover the open side.

To summarize, my whishlist of MTO revetments is:
- Small V type (stone) - READY by Spudkopf
- Small square type (2 versions: stone or petrol cans or mixed)
- Medium Y type (stone)
- Large C type (internal wall of stone with external earth cover) - WIP by Spudkopf
- Large square (material to be decided)

Having single wall sections would be a plus...

Below I put some pictures of Malta blast pens found on the web
