Just picked up a nice handful of Austrian surplus. Hoping for a little help with one of the bits though.

One bit i picked up was this - 
https://goarmy.co.uk/collections/tactical-vests-webbing/products/austrian-army-assault-vest-olive
Before i start picking up random olive green pouches to build this out, would anyone happen to know what pouches the Austrian armed forces typically used with these vests? I've honestly never bought any surplus outside of some PLCE stuff, and BDUs so building a vest out to spec is new to me.

Also if anyone knows any brands that make doable pouches on the budget friendly end, sending them would be appreciated too.

Apologies if any questions I ask are stupid, I'm woefully ignorant when it comes to buying actually decent grade kit.

That's a cool find, I really like it.

I had a quick google and it's looking like you may struggle to find anything original.  I did find these two though -

Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1642193865/original-austrian-army-military-magazine?dd_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

Surplus & Outdoors (Out of stock) - https://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/austrian-military-issue-olive-852748.html

Maybe you'll get away with some MOLLE pouches in olive green?  Military1st has a pretty good range at different price points.  They're kind of my go-to as they don't double the cost for sending to the Highlands!

That vest is similar to the Dutch gear in that it uses old style ALICE attachment pouches. If you have a look on ebay there's quite a lot of dutch alice gear available.
