The LBE was meant to be used together with the US Garand Riffle introduced in Danish service in 1950, and a new‘adaptor’ was designed that allowed the bayonet to be worn without altering the scabbard. US made covers for the entrenching tool and British bags for the light respirator was altered in Denmark to fit the belt. The US entrenching tool, cover, and the lightweight respirator bag were integral parts of the M45-50 Webbing Equipment.

British Pattern 1937 Cartridge Carriers
The Danish army used the British cartridge carriers as a stop-gap measure in the late 1940s, and they continued to serve in a limited capacity when the M/48 and M/50 was introduced. Used for guards, Home Guard units and similar rear-guard units, the carriers are often found with Danish HTK stamps. In Danish service they were known officially as Ammunitionstaske M/45E. The "E" designation the country of origin - E = England. In Denmark England was, and to some extent continue to be, synonymous with Great Britain.
