F-802 Reporter's Satchel, what are the side bucjles for?

Hi;

I have a F-802 Reporter's Satchel and I've always wondered what the buckles on either side of the bag, just below the top, are for.

Regards;

Marcel

If you're referring to the snap hooks on the back seam and the D rings on the front seam, they were originally to allow you to attach the bag to another F-802, or an F-801 (now discontinued) in back, and/or an F2 or larger satchel on the front.
