The second from the bottom looks like the one I used last year on my 7.62 RK 95 TP/7.62 RK 62 assault rifles. Here's a page from the Google cache that has a few pics: http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cache:T0 ... _2LI0W7X30

The page says it was designed for use with the M39 rifle.

The buckle is a bit off and the strap is short for bag use, 1" wide and 43.3 inches long.
