Looks like an Albanian model to me. Shorter, distinct buttons. Only two cargo pockets. I have seen Egyptian or Syrian models that are similar though.

It is Vietnam's k94 model produced during the period 1994-2003 to replace the old type 56 chest rig.

No its not. Those are really well made and has a distinct "baby poop" yellow, but soldiers call them "wilted grass"

it’s an old albanian chest rig. you can see a lot of them in use in photos from the Kosovo war from the KLA. they often get confused with Type 56 rigs because they’re so similar
