There may have been many styles of holster by what I see on this post. We had the holster with the swivel on it, so it would lay down when in a vehicle. It was sometimes referred to as the "Barney Fife" holster. The ammo pouched were the same as pictured. If you had a new pouch issued, the rounds were almost impossible to get out. Not the best system in the world, but that was back in the mid '60s. Back in the day, we were not allowed to use any non issue holster, and at Kadena, after a weapons incident, we were not allowed to cut them down to expose the trigger guard. Seems by this post that there was more leeway in other theaters of operation.
