Hello Dam, you are like me, you know nothing on British equipment and me on French....

I was hoping someone could easily say what these straps are for, surely there is a British web expert on the forum to give a quick easy and accurate answer as to if these are for carrying the bren tripod.

It is a bren-tripod strap.

They are known as bren tripod straps and may have been used as such, however i believe they are to carry mortar and piat ammunition cases on each side of the wearer.

Hi Jersey 34
The strap is for carrying 3" mortar & PIAT bombs, several collectors have tried to use them on Bren tripods. try it for your self and you will find that is almost impossible to wear it with the tripod attached without crippling yourself. However attach 2 Lee Enfield long rifle slings and it's a piece of P**s.
But what do I know I'm only a retired REME Armourer.
