There are SMG mag pouches on each end of the belt, and the one second from left with the plastic quick release fastener is for rifle magazines. Normally one or the other would be worn.
I have seen the poncho in the zipper case attached to the rear of the suspenders. There is also field pack, which was made in the rubberized material, as well as nylon and also canvas. The shelter half was part of the original M1971, along with its carrying pouch, which doubled as a hood, and could be carried on the belt. There is also a second pattern etool carrier for the trifold shovel.
