Late war webbing y-strap

[juncker93]

Hello everyone,

I recently acquired this what i would say late war webbing y-strap. Since i can't find any picture of a similar type i would like to know if somebody can confirm that this is indeed a late war variant. I am very certain that the webbing is correct for it to be genuine. And i don't really doubt its originality, however i am curious what you think about it.




Kind regards,

Hello,
I'm sorry to say but for me, they're not late war web Y-straps. From these photos, it looks to me that they were cavalery y-straps that have been saboted and had "new" front hooks added. There's also something wrong with the rear hook. The position of D-rings indicates that these y-straps were meant for the Packtasche 40. Productions of both Packtasche and specific y-straps were discontinued in 1943.
Below you can see the same configuration with rectangular D-rings.
Thanks
