Are you talking about the canvas impregnated hard boxes..... looks like an overstarched back pack..... has a shoulder strap and some kind of single metal tab at the back?????

It was explained to me that they were called "bail out boxes" for carrying ammo and other supplies whenever there was a necessity to leave the carrier......

...probably would hold about 6 or 8 bren mags......

Would love to see a picture to confirm..

...reason is I used one as a kid for a school lunch box....yeah I know I had a big appetite...... but for sentimental reasons I purchased 3 NOS in Montreal (back in 1983) from an old surplus store now defunct...

Would love to finally have them correctly identified.

At a later date I may choose to trade them in for something more appropriate to my C15a cab 11 ...... what did they sell for on EBay???
