So my understanding is that these sets were an “ auxiliary” to the two pouches already included by pattern 37 rigs? I have not studied the pattern 37 closely, but I thought those utulity pouches hooked up to the main web belt and had support suspenders wrapping over the shoulders to the rear case or possibly to the belt again in the back? If that is the case, a single soldier would be carrying 4 pouches with 12 magazines? An amble load for sure.
