Default 440ml

Why is beer sold in 440ml tins? Why an odd volume like 440ml? It's bothering me.

500ml ones are an obvious half liter and 568ml a pint, but why 440 for box sets and four-packs?

The best answer I have is that 440ml poured from a tin fills a pint glass including it's fizzy head, but why 440ml and not 430ml or 450ml.
