It is the pouch for the clips for the "Pederson device", a unit designed to make existing rifles into semi-automatic weapons.

The pouches were worn in pairs, one for the clips, one for the device itself ( it could be mounted & unmounted) the device pouch is rare as is the device itself. the clip pouches are somewhat common.

HELLO-THANKS AGAIN FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE.PAUL
