I've put in a request to a museum for input as to the correct terminology as well as a local University which has a good research library and museum of old German artifacts. The term "back carrier" does not work grammatically. It implies the carrying of a back. Much like a rock carrier, car carrier, etc. Both words are nouns and the second must, as a result, change its function to a modifier. I don't recall the correct grammar term, but it doesn't work. Besides, most anyone would simply then call it a backpack. Which it isn't because of its function.
