I was a press photographer for a number of years back in film day, my gear wasn't like that.He was a photographer for a newspaper. I doubt he had much time for bubble wrap.

Having worked in wholesale in the 1980's / 90's serving some of London's finest, a bag of kit like that looks very real.Yes, his kit is a bit beat up. But for me that is part of the story. If you're romantically inclined and given to flights of fancy, I can imagine them being used in a high pressure environment, in the crush of a press crowd. Where you have to think quick and take your shots while you can.
Some worked that way, many were agency so self employed and had their own company registration and VAT numbered.They belonged to the paper and were used by all their photographers

It may look beat up but it was paying the rent and buying the next round of drinks.
Most would have a Nikon L35AF or Canon equivalent for those an SLR makes you a target for an unruly crowd moments, think inner city riots.
