1982 Pattern C2 30 round mag holder. I'm not that familiar with the stuff. A good place to ask would be http://www.network54.com/Forum/28173/
Pattern 37 Web Utility Pouch web yokes...Manufactured by Zepher Looms and Textiles Peterborough, Ontario. Designed to connect to two pattern 37 web pouches ( basic pouches) which would go over the shoulders. $5 each maybe. They are not really all that desirable for most collectors.
Canadian army leather mittens. Brown suede with "dummy strings" to attach to epaulette buttons. Manufactured by Continental glove company. Maybe $10 a pair. Again, not really all that desirable for most collectors.

The C2 bras could be found with either the earlier 50s pattern metal buckles, or else the later 60s pattern hardware like yours has. The bras are very common, there are still surplus stores with NOS ones for $10 each. The Bras were never really a hit back in their day and even in the 70s I saw more of the bras in the surplus stores than in the QM.
The prices quoted earlier are right in the ballpark for the remainder, and neither are uncommon.

I still remember many a bruise from being pinch from run downs back in the day.

120 rounds of 7.62 along with those large steel mags were quite the load. The C2 overall really was a bad choice for the section LMG. Magazine fed, not particularly accurate on F/A, and a long unguarded barrel that would instantly remind you that you must use the carry handle to reposition the gun.
Interesting to note that the bra shown at the begining of this thread has the plastic hardware of the 60s pattern webbing, but then has metal snap hooks. Normally those would be plastic as well. Either a repaired bra, or possible a transitional model. One would have to look at the stitchng to be sure.
