I bought about 100 pounds of military surplus "stuff" and need help in identifying what some straps and belt hooks are used for.

I've attached 3 jpg of the items, the last is a puch that I believe the straps are used to hold, butr am unsure.

thanks in advance for the help.

  Well the 2 things in the top pic on the right hand side look like bayonet frogs for a modern bayonet.

  Hopefully someone here is familiar with British military equipment.
  I think the top item on the left is for attaching either a bayo. frog or Browning Hi-Power (P-35) holster to the equipment belt. I could be wrong.
  
  Don't send flowers when I die. Send money now, I can buy more ammo.

  In the top picture, definitely not U.S.....I'd say Swedish or Dutch.
  
  Center picture...Finnish gear for tying up reindeer? [:)]
  
  Lower picture...looks like a haversack for storing general sundries.

  Not knowing the size, but the bottom picture looks to be a gas mask carrier?
