Looks like a typical Lee Enfield bag. Some had the pockets pointing up, some down, and some recent copies have them sideways.

Here is a link to a short thread on them at milsurps.com :http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=43565

I have 2 of these and often wondered just what was the purpose of the pocket?

It's too big to accommodate even 2 LE mags (apart from the fact that LEs were to be charger loaded only).

Would it have been for a cloth bandoleer of .303?
