The Ammunition carrier during World War two was a basic continuation from the type used during WWI to carry ammunition to 13/18 pounder gun positions on the front line where access is hindered for limbers and other wheeled transport.
Most WWII ammunition carriers I have seen including the ones in my collection are very early dated so I think it was quite early on in WWII that it was realised the type of front line was going to be very different to that of WWI due to a mechanised force. With this in mind it was apparent there was no need or use for this type of garment rendering obsolete by 1942.
They are a rare find these days
