Is the top pouch, with the compartments the USMC Jungle Medical kit? It was full of plastic botles, and packages when I got it, packed in the late 1940's, or 1950's, but I didnt know what it was...

Garandy,

 

I'd say yes it does look like the jungle kit. I am relatively new at this but during my own research of such kits, the pacific/jungle theater does seem to come mind.

It's an M2 jungle pouch issued to both the Army and Marines in the Pacific. Now all you need to do is track down all the componants to fill it.

The Marines issued the jungle first aid pouch as standard aid pouch even into early Vietnam, but with updated contents. My friend was in 3rd Mar Div in 65-66 and has his original kit in a 1945 pouch. This might explain the newer contents in yours.
