Radio backpack looks interesting... I've not seen one of those before. How do you know it's for a radio?
The two lower utility pouches look to be Indian made.
44 pattern holster is no use to you really, but the 37 pattern one looks very nice.
You also need small pack, L-straps, water bottle carrier, entrenching tool and cover.
i can see a perfectly good waterbottle carrier in the pic.........
Just a guess on the back pack. It has a slit on one side, aerial maybe? and a small compartment that opens up on the left hand side


The pack has a stiff board internally fitted to the rear and L straps

Inside is divided up like this

The underside of the top flap has the following markings:
ME & Co ZA26516 and a sort of crown with the number 75 underneath

Looks to be the same to me
