Well, after much searching around, I finally aquired a Type 56 chest pouch (three mag pockets) ! I just have a question about what all of the pockets are intended for. Out of the seven pockets, I know that the center pouches three are for magazines, there are two for grenades (one on each side of the mag pockets), and there is one for the oil bottle (that pocket is lined with some type of vinyl, it is end of one side), and there is one last pocket that I am not quite sure what it is for (it is on the other end of the chest rig). It has a pen sized slot (for cleaning kit tube?) in it with a band of elastic around it. Also wondering what might also typically be used in the grenade pockets other than grenades, box of ammo perhaps?
