Dutch army ca 1953 - early 60's.

M53 Battledress uniform
Khaki shirt and tie
M53 (M1) helmet with fiber liner and helmetnet
M52 belt
M52 magazine pouches (Different than British p37 in that the front flap isn't pointy but straight)
2 Suspenders (1 Dutch and 1 British p37 reissue)
German WW2 style folding shovel in leather carrier
Metal canteen in pouch
K53 gasmask in bag

I actually just asked about this in a Dutch/Belgian facebook group and even veterans couldn't answer.
Another doublechecked his 1983 handbook and said it didn't mention how to carry it, just like I remember all of my handbooks don't either.

Dutch army is sure to have found some horribly impractical way to carry it though, as they always did.
Like the weird way to carry the sleepingbag in front without a dedicated carrier to attach it, still not 100% sure how it went.

Also, as far as I know the webbing is called M52, as parts appear way before 1958, that was just the name for the newer combat uniform that superceded the wool battledress.
I have had quite a few bits and pieces dated 1953 and 54.
