Y straps.

Hi guys, Vincent Mann asked me the question "when were the leather joined straps used and when did the canvas joined version appear?". I have some leather types with a Norton spares label attached and canvas type with a Canadian spares label from the 50's. Therefore I assumed the leather type predate the canvas type.
Please enlighten us.
Cheers, Mick.
