the original M1923 Dismounted Belt was designed for use with the bolt action rifles, each pocket had a divider to separate two loaded five round stripper clips. The dividers were omitted to accept the en bloc clips of the M1icon rifle. In 1956, there was another variation introduced.

There is also the M1938 Dismounted Belt with 12 pockets without dividers design to use the en bloc clips for the M1 rifle.
