In the 70s I was in a reserve wheeled recce unit. We had a long list of issue vehicle kit, patrol kit, and sometimes troop kit. Stowage was seldom dictated down to where to put the 2-burner stove in the M38A1 Jeep. Individual crews had different baggage too. I preferred the zippered duffel bag and a single sleeping bag valise for my kit, but not everyone had exactly the same issue. Generally equipment was stored within the confines of the tarp so it wouldn't fall off on a road move.
I would follow Ed's sage advice about relying on photos, but also show a little constructive thoughtfulness when dressing your vehicle.
