That is what I thought, most pics I have seen have them using German equipment/fieldgear if they are using non-Romanian items.
Just received my kit from Dragos a few days ago. Y straps have rings instead of hooks to connect to ammo pouches and belt. The German y strap has hooks, why did these ones have rings? |

The Y straps are hung from the belt, above the D rings you should have a loop in the Y strap through which goes the belt, the D rings are there to attach different equipment such as grenades or the canteen. |

What about the Russian backpack? Have an original mid-war German pack but it hooks to the German y straps and the Romanian straps doesn't have the connections needed. |

The castings on the fins are crude. Plus, I believe the "glove-box" on the gas-tank is an IMZ/Chiang Jiang affection.
Though they are really cool rigs. Some of the CJs have a "rumble-seat" on the sidecar, giveing them a total capacity of 4 people. If you go real slow, I imagine. |

Well the National Park Service contacted me and asking if I would be willing to attend a Stalingrad event being held at the WWII Memorial in Washington D.C. this spring. Lets see if I can get at least two others to go with me if it happens which would be a good boost for Romania's recognition here in the US.
