Did you get any picture? I'm no expert on liners but I think it could easily be identified. My current guess would just be its a post war liner that someone put the WW2 webbing in (Either leftover, Repro, etc) -

It is super awesome, My first m1 was a post war I think Vietnam that @Gear Fanatic fixed up and turned it into a WWII AAA-O 2 panel medic for me. And then the one (I thought was untouched) Was my first front seam. -

I have kind of followed to story of Lady be Good since I watched "Lone Survivor" on CBS when I was a kid. When first found by the British in the late 1950's, she was in pretty good shape, in-fact all of the guns were in place as well as all of the gear, there was some structural damage from the crash. I remember the published pictures of the crew's clothing lying out in the desert, like it had just happened. Even included some of their paper items blowing around. -

Post a pic, it sounds like it could be identified pretty easily. -

I have been looking at the old photos and those 1990/91 photos. It looks to me she was in bad shape to start with. The nose landing gear is under the flight deck. It starting to look like that was ripped away during impact. -

At the PX in Kandahar you could buy everything from a Kabar, SOG brand knives to Gerber knives. At the Unit level the 10th Mtn Division were issued folding Gerber knives. The folding Gerber Rex-Applegate's fighting knives were popular, I brought back two (one I found in the road on the way to the Airfield bazaar in 2003-04). The Leatherman's were probably the most use-full. I knew one SFC that would order the Randall knives during his deployments enjoying the expedited work order that Randall offered for active duty deploying soldiers. He would carry them for a couple missions and take photo's of himself in Country with them in his full battle rattle and then sell them on ebay for premium. To each there own. I carried a nice stag handled L.F.&C. hunting knife however I was afraid to lose it, so I stuck with a cheap Chinese made Winchester brand hunting knife that I purchased at the PX and taped up the handle and secured it to the front of my LBE. Worked great for opening MRE's and cutting cheese and sausage from my care packages. I think I threw it at a rat once in my tent (missed). The rats were bad at Kandahar.
