I am a currently serving member of the Canadian Forces and while working as an assault Pioneer several years ago, we used the same mine probes during minefield breaching exercises. As for the colour of the web carrier, keep in mind that this type of webbing was still being produced in the 1950's and beyond. I have a map case that is identical to a '37 pattern case (same WW2 colour) and it is dated 1983. I would think that if the probes are stamped with NSN's that they are post war manufactured. If the NSN's are engraved with an electric pencil then they could be older.
