Nope. Sorry. 72 pattern. I have one.
We used 44 pattern as cadets.
I’m not familiar with the ‘44 pattern belt, but the water bottle pouches were much more popular than the ‘58 pattern ones and I think some still had them on PLCE webbing when it was still OG.

The water bottle carrier was originally a US design, but I recall we had a more standard bottle pouch when we replaced ‘37 with 44.
(A few NCOs bought their own 44 as it was available in the local surplus place, would have been a good investment if they’d kept it!)
I’ll leave this here before I get admins on my case…

For mayors cadet, station commanders cadet etc?
Do we need to confirm that that the station commander or whoever holds a EDBS?
Usually this cadet would be over 18 so an adult themselves.
Otherwise I’d see what your WEXO says!

Very rare for over 18s on this even with Lord Lts cadets but with the whole change in over 18s this is going to rear its head in the next six months.
Our town council discussed making it a stipulation that the mayor’s cadet should be over 18, to eradicate safeguarding obstacles, but we were good enough to point out that this would exclude the other cadet forces.
