Here are some photo's for Bosnia 93 that might help
You'll note that we didn't have any webbing or chest rigs. very low key we carried our mags in the pockets of the flak vest or in our pockets.
Almost everything was standard issues. Execpt for the gortex boots and jackets everything was standard. And the helmet was the standard US kevlar helmet painted blue



My only none issue comfy kit was a pair of US Army combat gloves, because I could clip them on to my beaner and a Norway army sweater. Tape on the upper right of the flak jacket is my name and blood type. Took a C9 sling and jerry rigged some para cord to attach it to my C7 and taped a field dressing onto the sling. We where issued plastic mags but I had a USMC friend of mine send me up a dozen US metal mags that I used instead. Side note, the first round was a tracer to see where the rounds where going and the 3rd to last round was a tracer to let me know that I was about to run out of ammo, had this on all my mags, 4 in the vest, 1 in the rifle and a fw more in the truck. Neat trick that worked great.
