Is there more information on this question?
I've found these pictures of what look like JM or BDM girls, using only rucksacks:
(this and other period photos scavenged from the net and auction sites. If this is a breech of etiqutte I apologize)
The "how to pack your bag" illustration in “Maedel im Dienst” clearly shows a rucksack, not a tornister:
The 1936 RZM regulations mention the BDM-Rückengepäck and JM Rückengepäck, patterns to be announced:
Did this become the DJ Marschgepäck, or was that something else entirely?
I've found this kid's pack, and it has a button with a similar knot pattern with the light brown breadbag which carries an NSDAP stamp:
I can't find any specification for the right two buttons, but they do suggest the Lederknoten. Was this button design an official patten?
Of course, there's also pictures of young women and girls with tornisters:
and mixed, some of each:
So what are we seeing?
Was there at one point an official or semi-official rucksack design that was phased out after '36? Or are these simply girls using their school bags or civilian hiking gear because the tornisters were too expensive or not made in their size?
Finally, I think I recall someone mentioning a color change in the regulations form tan to gray - when was that again? The HJ/DJ/BDM/JM brotbeutel specification in '36 specifies field gray, I've found that much.

Brotbeutel identification? | Fieldgear and general equipment
I've come across the following breadbags, three of which may or may not have some association with HJ - could any of you tell if they're authentic, and if so who might have used them, where and when? All are ebay and etsy finds. The pictures here are with ruler and canteen for scale...
