Salty AK-47 mag pouch. Afghan/Taliban?

This was picked up as a VC mag pouch back at SOS maybe 6 years ago. I recently located it in storage and thought it was worth a shot asking if anyone knew what it is. It definitely IS NOT Viet Cong. I am very familiar with VC and NVA gear - Chicom, jungle, or Hanoi made - and this is not consistent with anything I have seen from Vietnam.

Personally I suspect this is Afghan tribal or Taliban made, as the style with two mag pouches and an oil pouch in between is consistent with some Taliban LBVs posted on other forums. Also, the heavy use of rivets seem to point in that direction.

If anyone more knowledgeable on Middle Eastern gear has any ideas, please feel free to share.

Also, the AK mag did not come with the pouch.
