Hey PhantomGuitar,
Thanks for the compliment! I do have way too much P37 webbing for sure. Some webbing collectors collect by maker, some by date and some by condition. I mostly collect by country of origin and try to avoid blanco if possible (I think it might be carcinogenic).
As for your question, I believe musketry order was intended for range practices and retained only the equipment necessary for those exercises. The 1934 Royal Naval Handbook of Field Training (courtesy of Karkee Web) describes Musketry, Drill and Fatigue Orders as follows...
Glad to post here! There are some incredibly knowledgeable and friendly people on this forum and I feel very fortunate to be a part of it!
I'm not sure if non-FB users can see this page or not, but here are some of the uniforms I put together with this webbing...

I read that wartime blanco was carcinogenic here...
British & Commonwealth uniform
"Blanco made during the war contained carcinogenic materials and so today's re-enactors use blanco that comes in a liquid form. This can be applied with a brush but can be just as messy as the process was during the Second World War."
Great to have you here Mike and many of the members here are not FB users, so perhaps some of them will realise that FB like any other "tool" is as good as you make it and does not have to be full of crass and inane content. The same applies to TV, how many people moan about how crap it is, but if you search through the dross and select what you watch, there is some great stuff on there and the same goes for FB.
Regards,
Jerry
Whatever its just an opinion.
Actually collecting WWII British militaria can be hazardous to your health! The gas masks contain ASBESTOS, the compasses contain RADIUM, the blanco is CARCINOGENIC, and the mess tins have LEAD SOLDERING!
I'm amazed any of the tommies were healthy enough to fight with that kind of kit. lol
