William, I just took a couple of photos from the original Rivendell catalogs of the Baggins handlebar bag. These photos may allow you to see how the closure system was originally designed. It's obvious that there would be more than one way to use the elastic cords and barrel cord locks to secure the top. Here's the photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37964304@N05/sets/72157630504415628/
I'll keep these photos available for a period on my Flickr photostream, but they'll be deleted eventually. I hope you find them useful.
