Afghan belt for comment

The picture from the book is one for old flintlock muskets, the one OP has is for rifles much newer than flintlocks. The little puoch with the blunt metal peice at the bottom of it, I honestly don't know what it is. Flintlock belts had all the little peices as shown in the picture with the multi tool for sizing and shaping flints and untighting or tighting the flint holder peice of the lock.

AJ, you are right - the apparent care lavished on these items was what attracted me to them, and the cartridge box easily accommodates Snider or M-H rounds.
Stuart, a slightly belated Happy New Year to you too!
And my thanks, archer, for posting the pic from Artzi's site - it certainly answers the question.
