If you are going for the authentic look of the CF during the FN C1A1/C2A1 era, then you need to get the 1964 pattern webbing. The 64 pattern used velcro loops to secure pouches to the web belt and there was a Y-strap type yoke almost like the vietnam style American webbing. Oddly enough, there wasn't any magazine pouches for the webbing. There was a grenade pouch (that could be carried in two different positions), a mess tin pouch (precourser to the utility pouch), gas mask carrier, and two different sized general purpose pouches that guys used for magazines and spare ammunition.
If you find some and get it together, I'd really reccommend using gun tape to hold the pouches and straps on. The first time I ever wore that stuff it flew apart doing my first section attack.
