Rhodesia and South Africa:

This webbing was mainly used by the SADF in the Border War up until it was replaced by nylon Pattern 83 gear. They are commonly seen in photos from the period. Although contemporary with the Rhodesian Bush War, very few P70 items made it there (source: https://www.newrhodesian.ca/viewtopic.php?p=77528#p77528, https://www.facebook.com/groups/999799990127595/posts/3534599606647608). The few photos showing Pattern 70 items, used by SADF soldiers operating in Rhodesia, are below:
