These came in a lot of British pouches and were referenced as possibly SADF. Can anyone tell me who and what they are?

The one stamped with MvO I believe to be Dutch. I would hazard a guess on the other one also being Dutch or more than likely Belgian.

The one on the left is indeed Dutch, one of the partners for the utility pouch set. Its mate would have a long one-inch strap sewn to the rear, and a special yoke strap would also complete the set.
I would agree that the basic pouch on the right is Belgian, although the traces of dark green blanco are typical of Dutch webbing.
