Default Pattern '37 Bren Mag pouches

Just to identify a relatively uncommon item of Pattern '37 webbing, the Bren Gunner's Mag pouch:

These pouches at first glance appear to be similar to the standard Basic pouch, but there are differences. The Bren Mag pouch is thicker in section to hold 3x 30rd Mags. It is not secured to the belt like the Basic pouch, but the set has it's own thinner web strap that is sewn to the front pouch and fits through a loop in the rear pouch. These are worn on the left side of the torso at the front and rear.

This particular pair are made by Zephyr Looms and Textiles, Canada in 1943.
