Yep, 1907 leather sling with brass hook is right..
Yep, and an M1917 Kerr Sling would also be appropriate.
A standard British General Service web sling or Pattern 1914 or 1939 leather sling
If American issued, 1907 pattern Brass Hooks. Any date up to 1918. Or the 1917 Kerr sling.
If Canadian issue ie. with red band around the front Forestock and "C" broad arrow marked, as used for guarding Air Bases during WW2, then the RCAF Pattern 37 Lee Enfield sling which was Blue in color would be correct. That said, it could have also have used the Khaki colored Army sling, depending on what was available.
