Dick, can't help with the ID of J.O.M.D. - but during WWII they also made Carbine ammo pouches, a rig (experimental?) for carrying multiple hand-grenades in pouches, as well as machete covers.
Maybe this is it? Was doing some research on military saddles - circa 1941. Gentleman had some pictures that looked like J.O.M.D. stamped into the metal lining of the stirrups. Another gentleman provided this information:
"JQMD = Jeffersonville Quartermaster Depot. The irons were made in 1941 at the depot outside Jeffersonville, Indiana. I believe the NS means "nickel steel". It might also be a depot inspector's initials but I do not think so."
