Here is some direct historical evidence for you:

A group of Canadian paratroopers (Ardennes or Netherlands, January 1945). The chap in the middle is a sniper, and has his 4(T) with scope fitted. Around his neck is the Scout Regiment telescope on its leather strap. He is also carrying a bandoleer of ammunition. The scope tin is not visible, but might well be in his small pack on his back.

The compass pictured is a Compass, Marching. It should be a Compass, Prismatic.

I'm sorry, the quartermaster was out of stock, this was the only one available.
The helmet is a refurbished tanker, the smock is replica and I could carry on. My gear is far from complete/perfect but I'll try to get there eventually.
Btw, still looking for a decent (black, not totally brassed, preferrably dated) prismatic compass, if anyone has one for spares...
