Actually it is a repro WW1 US Bolo filling in for a WW2 smatchet. They are very similar minus the scabbard and a little on the blade. It doesn't actually go in that position it goes on the roof by the WS 19 set but I did not put the straps there yet. The standard wirecutters go there. Pic of a bolo and smatchet. Original smatchets go for around $1000 and the bolo is a repro around $100.

First is bolo, second is smatchet.

Thanks gent's. After going through some of the removed fittings, I found the remnants of web straps for the radio cover and rammer holder. I will pick up some of the 37 pattern straps and modify the length to suit the different straps.

Here is an image of a regular issue British Machette that was a standard item on most Commonwealth vehicles from WWII until the 1970s. They used to be fairly easy to find in the UK, I am not sure how much WWII marked ones sell for now.

Here is an image of the Wire Cutters that were also issued with most Commonwealth vehicles from WWII into the 1980s.
