Re: Difference in indy bags
Are these original bags?
If so, there were many different manufacturers that might not have followed all the same specs. I'm pretty sure even if it was the same manufacturer you would find differences.
It's why some bags have the inner partition, some have the three vent holes in the bottom etc.
If these are reproductions from the same company.... then that's a really good question. I've never seen a bag with a long bottom like that, it's almost as if the bag lost it's shape?

The one on the right is todds costumes I believe and the left not for sure think it's a lee keepler. Was wondering which one would be more screen accurate

probably a matter of opinion, which movie (or which scene within a movie) that you prefer....... Indy himself noticeably had different ones (like the infamous three drain hole one from TOD and I think one in CS or LC? had an eyelet in the top inside divider)

Re: Difference in indy bags
Makes sense that the bag on the right is from Todd's. He's had some sizing variation on his bags over the years. Still quality bags, and the slightly longer length made them more practical for many members.

Re: Difference in indy bags
I check at Todd website he doesn't sell bags anymore. Anyone know where I can find a bag like the one on the right I use the one on the left but it's to small and I think the bigger one is more screen accurate.

Not sure of the exact dimensions you're looking for, but Magnoli makes a great MKVII replica:

WPG makes one too:

If you're not dead set on a repro and screen accuracy is a priority, nice originals are still plentiful. You just need to communicate with the vendor to see which ones are still in mint condition (usually the W&G).

Re: Difference in indy bags
One thing to bear in mind when buying original respirator haversacks, including unissued stock, is there may be some perishing. When I was a kid my dad used one to carry his lunch for work in one so my fondness for them pre-dates Indy! Anyway, I bought one a couple of years ago and used it as a travel bag for those small essentials. Unfortunately the fabric that holds the steel rings for the shoulder strap perished and gave way while I was in an airport waiting for a connecting flight. I ended up getting it repaired with some leather in a little sewing shop in the Philippines. So far so good but no longer screen accurate!

Yep, my original has held up well for 20 years but that is the first thing that is on it's way out the steel ring straps, it's time to trade up!

I'm going with Genuine MkVII Gas Mask Bag from Magnoli. I like the original better than the repro
