interesting quiver

The first quiver from left lokks very interesting:

It have similarities with turkish style (the outer pocket, the holes for suspension, the bottom), but it seems to be not turkish and is clearly visible a cross engraved on the pocket.

It can be possible to be from some cristians allies of turks in that Mohacs battle?

The foto is taken by BowyerTom in Skokloster museum.

Ginni,
There are Turkish quivers short arrows carried by infantry, but this looks short enough to be a quiver cross bow arrows. The Turkish quivers I am thinking about about 70cm long and this unlikely to be one of those.
