I also visited the Army Museum at Bandiana and measured & traced their brackets and clips for the web straps that hold the water can and water bottles in place.

After that I started making the hooks & buckles. Will cut up a 37 pattern web strap and have it sewn together to form the correct strap. Will also hand sew in the other straps onto the loops welded onto the water bottle brackets and water can bracket at the rear.

Many years ago I purchased a few water bottle covers (possibly off MLU), these have now been fitted and sewn up on the water bottles that I have collected over the years. Will install into the hull when the straps are completed.
