The Type III pouches could be worn as a single item (typically enlisted men) or as a pair (typically by NCOs and paratroopers). This is the left-side style pouch. Tan/Green canvas construction usually by date associated with Africa with black leather fittings, marked "MP.38u.40" on the rear with two out of three pouch straps marked "evg/42" (Max Oswald Lederwaren und Reiseartikelfabrik, Karlsruhe) in black ink, and one also marked with a stamped "WaA101". The magazines and loading tool are all "MP.38u.40" marked, with dates ranging from "40" to "42" and mixed Waffenamt stamps. Similar examples pictured and described in the books "Afrika Korps" by Kurtz and "Soldat" by Mason.
