Unmarked sewn k98 ammo pouch identification

[KroniK]

I recently acquired this ammo pouch.
Any thoughts on what exactly I have here?

No markings to be seen, except for the 76 inside the pouch. There's a 19 in the right pocket.
But nothing else.

Interesting variation...not one I have ever encountered either. It appears cartridge separators were not used in the the pouches. The stiff leather (ersatz) replacement for the
typical D-ring is also unique. Lastly, the pouch material looks like pigskin from the inside and must have been formed to make it resemble pebble-grain leather from the outside.
Could be a late, WW2 "last-ditch" pouch of limited production... possibly a "concept" pattern under consideration. Otherwise, of post-WW2 manufacture (E. Germany comes to mind). However, there was so much of this stuff remaining from WW2 production, don't really see the need (but E. Germany did make a unique pattern at one time) Either way, I like it!

Thank you for the reply.
My biggest question would of course be if it is postwar or fantasy or not.
Is there anyone else that wants to shed some light on this?
Even a hunch feeling? I appreciate all responses.

this is about the third ive seen in a few months. the other two were on FB leatherwerke page. Most folks say the same thing.. Never seen one before.. But, seems like a natural progression of the pouch.

Sure Is an interesting pouch. Strange that there no markings. So unlike German manufacturer, they like to mark everything!

I keep seeing these pop up recently, the sewing for the belt loops is not wartime in my opinion, I believe these are postwar pouches.

I have seen these, in reenacting in the 90’s. It was a surplus pouch from some postwar country which escapes me now, they weren’t expensive at the time. Not many guys used them because originals were so cheap them.
