We got a couple of the Swedish ones from World of Surplus before seeing this but now I look at them the Swedish type looks very German whilst the Czech one has a more allied ring to it. Oh well too late now.

Swap the canvas straps on the Czech for leather ones, and it would look *very* close to a German ruck (even down to fitting on the D rings of the yoke, just like the Jerry ones)
From a practical point of view (owning a late war Lufty ruck with proper shoulder straps, and a midwar SS/Heer ruck with clips for the D rings), the ones with the proper shoulder straps on are FAR more practical to get on and off. Loaded up, the "clip on" type of ruck really is a two man job to get on and off.
