Re: mg gunners belt pouch
Pressstoff wasn't made post-war that I know of... the rest looks good too.
The pouch is made for the MG42 or MG34. Either spider sight will fit in the pocket the way it is made. If it's a pouch made only for the MG34, the MG42 sight won't fit.
Straps were often replaced when they broke like that. Mine has a black strap that was from something else before it was used on the pouch, like maybe it was a canteen strap, or from a mess kit or back pack strap that broke and was too short for it's original purpose.
