It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal the
neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

As Rick said, they are Vietnam era 20 round mag pouches for M16 or M14, with attachment points for a grenade on each side. As you can see they are kind of bulky. The SEALs and Special Missions guys started using canteen pouches instead of these because they wouild hold more, and these didn't work for the newer 30 round magazines.

Those are ALICE clips. Earlier pouches used a double bent hook thingy that fit into the holes in the belt..
