Use Enfield Slings
Chris,
I also have one of those contraptions and the general concensus is that they are not carry straps for the Bren tripod, rather for miscellaneous carry of water, fuel, and ammo tins.
I was eager to attach mine to the Bren tripod when I got mine, and like yourself, scratched my head in disbelief that such an unweildy contraption would ever have been used. It was not used - rather 2 regular old Enfield rifle slings were used, and they look the part when slung thru the tripod slots.
The rifle slings do not make the tripod any more fun to carry, and I suspect the first opportunity to stow it somewhere would have been seized upon.
