F.M.CO Pouches, detachable ammo.
I found this pouch recently.
It is marked with "RTCTL .14076 or "PTCTL.14076 and "F.M.CO 1944" , so obviously a Ford product.
The pouch is made from thick cardboard which is impregnated with wax and then painted.
In "Canadian Military Vehicle profiles" by William Gregg it can be seen in Profile No. 5 from the Universal Carrier No2 MkII as "Pouches, detachable ammo, filled mags, Bren, Thompson, Grenades".
A similar pouch was apparently used on the Ford Lynx Scoutcar.
Was this pouch just used on Ford products or also on other vehicles?
