Hi Robert,

They look like standard "heavy" infantry y-straps to me. I couldn't see the flap on the rear strap, only the metal hook is present.

Regards,

Thank you for your reply. They are different from the normal Y straps the leather is smaller and they have different ring (U) on the top.
I have kept them next to a pair of FJ straps and the construction is identical it has only the extra auxillary straps for attaching a rucksack or A-Frame. Do you know if they Fj had these kind of Y straps.
PS it also has the flap. I have never seen these on normal Y straps.
I can email you some more pictures if needed.
