I Agree this is a French made Private Purchase Officers Musette bag used by US Soldiers (as well as many other Allies)

There would have been variations, some of the more common French made musette bags that I have seen have a leather bottom.
As I mentioned on the US forum the other bag is for the gas mask and cannister. Possible that the name not being listed in the 36th Roster is that he may have been with the 36th post war or maybe a late war replacement to the division. The helmet is also great, nice 36th marking.
Keep searching the 36th Rosters... He may show up...
You picked up some nice items.
Best regards
