Enlisted men in the field.

Can anyone tell me if any of these are Soviet, and wartime? They all have cyrillic lettering cut or written on them, but there are no visible stamps. Thanks.

After some hunting around the internet, I've discovered that there were Soviet issue brown-leather ammo pouches for use with captured Mannlicher rifle clips. On the other hand, I thought that I also read somewhere that leather ammo pouches were issued specifically for carrying Nagant rifle clips. Anyone have have any info on this stuff? Thanks.

Here is an example, can anyone venture a guess as to its age? (And if anyone can tell me what the writing says, I'd be grateful for that as well).

Thanks!

Looks like the owner's name was written on it.

Ok, so if I get this correctly, light-blue and white is airborne and darker-blue and white is naval infantry, but otherwise the shirts are the same. Thanks for the help.

It's no coincidence that the shirts are the same ... one of the founding commanders of the Soviet paratroops came from the naval infantry, and that was one of the things he brought over.
