I've got some similar dense-but-thin green canvas and nice leather, which I have now earmarked to make a couple of repros' of these rolls. If I do get some time to do so, would either of you be interested? They'd hopefully not cost much...

M43 tunic in Splinter, mouse-grey service shirt, late-war Jäger boards, and Jäger oak leafs for the field cap. Want to give up the NCO role and try this mystical "sniper" thing for a bit...
Denim BD-shirt, some lance corporal insignia and WW2-model scrim scarf.

Are you talking about Brit lance-corp flashes, the single chevron? I am looking for a source, would appreciate directions to any retailer/seller that has them in stock.

1942 dated 2nd a-gunner's BAR belt with the two front pouches removed and 1945 dated OD#7 M1 carbine pouches sewn on instead.
The carbine pouches are US made but I'm not too sure the BAR belt is; it's identlical to a US made belt except for a small "outdent" on the lift-the-dot fasteners.
The belt is marked "LAU 42" and is in OD#3.
Does anyone have any idea what the origin of this belt might be? 
Some proper MkIII ammo pouches with press-studs, white elasticated braces (very important, these - my trousers were at my arse at last skirmish) and an entrenching tool and cover.
Nearly there!

I'll throw up some pics of the BAR belt as it may help someone indentify it:

Anyone? Sorry if I'm acting like a pain in the arse here, but I'm really interested in where this baby comes from.
A genuine seemingly unissued/unused "Carrier, Kit, MkIV, Rear" bicycle rack for my MkV BSA roadster. Quite awesome/rare as most of the racks produced were of the later "MkIV B" varient.

I'm not sure about the manufacturer, but I'd guess at it being a belt that has been field modified for an assistant BAR man, who was armed with a carbine. There was an official assistant gunner belt used in WW1, but these were phased out by WWII. This is it here: http://forums.thecmp.org/showthread.php?t=59075
Have you tried posting your photos on the US Militaria forum? http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/
It could have been modified anytime from the wars end to Vietnam?
The '45 dated carbine pouches make it very unlikely that it saw WW2 action.
