Looks like the Pletscher and I'd highly recommend. I had one and your comment really nails it. I loved it on my AWOL but the frame cracked and the Diverge Specialized is sending doesn't have a mounting plate for one. It's going to be a big adjustment to not have the kickstand any more.
Sorry I don't have an on-topic comment about Military Surplus bags, but those on your bike look great!

Here is a link to a recent thread where i have some pictures and a description that detailed converting military musette bags into rear panniers. I used them for years while commuting before giving them to my son for continued use.

Thanks to this thread, I just bought ten of these at $3.99. I'm thinking panniers, handlebar bag, seat bag, who knows. I have lots of bikes with places for bags.
