I recall seeing the WW2 ones until around the early 1990s. After that, if we ordered them in we got the light green canvas variety. I could run the numbers at work to see if they are still a current item, but somehow I think they are past their time.

Nice reference article, Rob. Thanks for posting.

I too can confirm that the wartime versions hung around for years within DND and there still may be the odd one lurking in the dark corner of a QM somewhere although as Rob states, they are well past their time.

Besides the wartime examples, DND did have similar post-WWII version manufactured in green webbing, although they were never seen in as large numbers.
