The pouch is for carrying the small boxes of spare ammunition.
From the same shipment on January 3rd, 1939. This one is complete with a General Officers holster, magazine pouch and 4 magazines.

Here's a pic. of the WW-2 ammo. 8mm. very hard to find, these two were "$300 a box," ...Sold.
I do wish for a satisfactory connection, but based on Colt serial number shipments they may not be that close or good odds.
MrColt45ACP, Your collection must be fantastic!
Those clamshell holsters are based on French model for the 1873 and 1892 service revolvers. Great protection if a bit bulky. Japan also borrowed tank designs from the French.
