Gramps was up in a b17, and im mostly into the rations of our soldiers (past and present) so this is new to me, but this is cool info! Thanks for the share!
I never buy carbine mags. I keep an eye on the ground and get them that way. At Wendle Ford last year I got four loaded mags with sixty rounds of Swanson blanks. Two empty mags. Thirty four M-1clips and one BAR mag and a MP40 mag.
The 505th para cord pouch from my experience in using it is a relatively decent(ish) design when compared to the lift dot designs, simply because, when using my lift dots for my MTO 505th kit id end up running around or crawling and the flap coming open and id loose all my enblocs during mid skirmish, happened more times than i care to mention (much like in history ofcourse). However seldom can be said when i used my para cord ones simply because, you can tie the knot in such a fashion that during the 'jump' phase its super tight and secures your ammo to withtstand the prop blast and once on the ground, you can slacken the knot but no completely undoo it so much so you can reach your hand in the sides of the flap and pull out an enbloc relatively easy and still have the flap tied over it to help prevent ammo falling out. I cant recall ever finding a solid reason / paper work explaining why they made tie up riggers for the 505th and part 507th, i was told the paper work was lost in the fort bragg fire in the 70's, but this was the only practical reason i can fathom why the riggers made the para cord design and once you can get it sorted its pretty intuitive.
From what I heard for the 505, I don’t remember the source so don’t quote me 100 percent, but the 505 used the pouches to refill their pockets for ammo, they filled their M42 pockets with ammo and used the pouches to refil their pockets, I don’t know about this 100 percent and I don’t recall where I heard it from but that is what I have always believed I just wish I remembered the source so I could prove it
Thanks for teaching me something new about World War 2.

Should’ve given ‘em back. Those who lost them would’ve known.

This was very intresting from a historical standpoint

They mainly used their pockets and pouches and when they emptied their pockets they opened the pouches and put more ammo there is what I recall
I have heard the same thing, but same as you cannot remember where.
I served with the 505PIR!
