Herr Hund, That is an interesting question..I have never seen a magazine pouch for the US test...I can say that one was never officially issued. The holsters were made by the US RIA and no mention of mag pouches is made.
German Soldiers as late as 1918 were known to carry handfulls of P08 mags in their tunic pockets even though the issue double and triple mag pouches were known and used by some. Just more convenient I suspect. I suspect that US Cavalry did the same.
