This is an original acquired out of Poland. Materials, hardware and workmanship is probably late 90s, early 2000s London Bridge Trading out of Virginia Beach. This one looks like it will fit both the molded kevlar Ballistic Products Seats as well as the High Backs. 1000d Cordura nylon, twin-needle-stitched Mil 5038 nylon bound edges, Gerald Schwartz Inc-style plastic side release buckles, Mil-W-43668 Spec 1" Nylon Webbing.
The GMV Seat Cover appears to be based on the LBT-1195K Machine Gunners H-Harness Rig, a fixed pouch, nylon H Harness with supplemental foam buoyancy inserts. The thin, long center pockets appear to hold a 500ml Ringers Lactate IV bag with the two thin vertical pockets outboard holding the IV works, Tourniquet or Surefire G2-sized Flashlight.
Anyhoooo,, this particular cover is a sand-tan 1000d Cordura, lighter than the tan fabric used on the HMMWV High Backs. I'll start looking for a matching fabric, webbing and binding tape as well as a Camo Green 483 for 3 Color NATO Camo Pattern trucks or if somebody wants Multicam, DCU, MarPat, basic Black, etc. But I won't have my prototype done until after New Years.
It is not made to the same heavy duty specs as the LBT-1195K H-Harness, subject to less stress, wear and tear, the pockets aren't bartacked at corners or stress points.
