[MRCA] Prc74 backpack

[Ray Fantini]

Think the PRC-47 was a crew operated radio, would take a crew to carry all the junk with it. One man for the radio itself, second for the accessory box and battery and a third for the generator and gas if used. There is a huge watertight box that fits the radio, battery box, antenna and all the other stuff but it’s too big for one man to carry.

Have seen this before:

And maybe it was intended for a squad to hump all that stuff into the bush?

I can't seem find any reference to the backpack that is used with the prc74 would anyone happen to know.
