Yes, that. HAHA! Mold grows on it easily. Notice how the bottoms of the magazine cells are stitched to keep somewhat of a square shape but the long sides are not molded to have sharp corners. Rather, they are more like loops and are stitched to the rear of the pouch to form the cells. I don't have mine in hand but IIRC, most of the front is one big piece of leather. Yes, I'm 99.999% certain the one shown is post war Yugo. The stamps have been added by a huckster. Unfortunately, not all of these were marked when new. One of mine is and one is not. Also, one of mine is better made than the other. Yugoslavian stuff is notorious for spotty quality control.
