I will start with some early ones from the Second World War.
I have seen this one referred to as the 'borsa tattica'; sadly, my example is missing the shoulder straps/suspenders.

And then the larger knapsack from the Second World War period. I don't believe that these were specific to Alpini:

Yes I think that strap is difficult to find on the loose.

This one I have seen in photographs with airborne troops. The design is somewhat complex - there is one flap that covers the main compartment, and and then another large flap that goes over top, maybe to hold a blanket or sleeping bag. Maybe the two heavy snap-hooks are used for attachment to a parachute harness.

Well, not at first, but eventually by the 1990s they more or less copied the US ALICE gear. But I agree, a lot of the Italian designs are pretty distinctive...
