[reneblacky]

G'day James, the yoke on the earlier ones are a sort of heart shaped, later types are circular

[James C]

cheers rene' so am i right in saying more alike to the TR yokes in style

[reneblacky]

naa they pretty well the same as the later type, here's the two together. Note also the changes to the hooks and where the pack straps connect at the rivet ie newer is 3 piece older is 2 piece.
