Tony, I'd say they were leather. I have the book and it looks like it is stitched in a rectangular patern with a cross, corner to corner. It looks like there is only one hole in each strap with a long bit after the hole.
The early carriers appear to have had leather straps giving way to rubber and then to webbing. So yes, leather.

This is a Bedford MWT but it shows the leather straps quite well.

Well I'm convinced !
Leather it is. Thanks Mariano, Adrian and Lynn We are lucky the old manuals survive and have members willing to share them.
