Looking at the picture, I think those are both Russian quad pouches. Soviet Army Stuff (http://www.sovietarmystuff.com/) has pretty good exemplars of a lot of Afghanistan (and Twilight)-era Soviet webbing and other odds and ends on their website, along with both older and newer items.

Thanks for the info and the link.

Very interesting.
