At The Front is busy making M42 uniforms and what not....they can't keep all of the items in stock. Also the haversacks they had were original...which makes getting more difficult. I would get your gear like this.... -Belt (whether is be the pistol belt or cartidge belt)- At The Front -Canteen Cover-At The Front -First aid- At The Front -Shovel- At The Front -Haverack- Ebay (always on there for good prices. Originals are the way to go for these).
This will get you the basic webgear set for the infantyman/ranger.
For grenades you can hang them on your belt, suspenders, put them in your HBT pant pockets (This is why the 2nd rangers prefered the HBTs over the wools), or if you have an assault vest there are 2 grenade pockets sewn onto the lower front pockets.
Thanks Thomas

there are also grenade puches that you hang on your belt. IMA has double or triple pouches (oddly the triple are less $$). But I do not know if Infantry wore them. If anyone could elaborate that would be fantastic, but I am not positive. They also have grenades for somewhat cheap: www.ima-usa.com/index.php/cPath/4_102

I have a vietnam era 3 grenade pouch. It was extremly cheap at my local surplus store (carries vietnam-modern) and I use it to carry paint-grenades in paintball. Works well when I can get them to fit in. I do not belive the ETO saw any use of them but the marines in the PTO (yes there were some in london, someone had to be on the hundreds of ships besides navy)to my knowledge used grenade pouches at least a little bit. Maybe even the infantry that fought with them.
