All of the different manufacture NOS GI Issue G-518 Tarps I have encountered and provided to canvas dealers as examples have Leather straps and reinforcement for same. The one I have installed on my G-518 had TM9-883 in an envelope enclosed in the folded up new tarp. The printing date of the enclosed 29 AUG 43 issued TM9-883 at the bottom of Page 89 was March 1945 and was printed at the RARITAN Arsenal.
