I feel quite certain that the canvas holder is for the Bren gun oil bottle and spares/tool kit, and this is confirmed by the Bren cleaning rod holder which you can see is also located under the stowage bin lid.

The Mk1 Scout was fitted for the Wireless set No 11, and there appears to have been no special provision made for the stowage of spare antenna or accessories above the carriage of the remote antenna, wireless set remote unit, spare valves case and spare parts case. When this vehicle was built the Wireless set No 19 had not yet come in to general service

This is also confirmed in Nigel Watson's brilliant book. Which I have almost worn out with constant reading !

Cheers
