Found these today. Reminded me of an Afrika Korps one But after Searching through countless pics of rucksaks just now im thinking not.
Also this shirt in the same shop. Searched but Found nothing on the maker.

Re: rucksack and shirt ID
The ends of the rucksack straps dont look typically German, more like the US style.
Shirt, clearly Belgian, collar style not typical wartime.
Thats me out of ideas.

Rucksack looks a little bit like a 1950s French one I used to have a long time ago.

Re: rucksack and shirt ID
The bag isn't German ww2 and the shirt isn't military issue. If the bag comes with the y-straps(if it's Czech) and it is cheap enough, why not buy it? It's an addition for the collection.
If the shirt fits you and you like it, buy it.

Re: rucksack and shirt ID
From what little I can see of the rucksack in the photo, it looks like it could possibly be a post-war Italian Alpini rucksack to me.
