Approx 3 inches from one strap end is an approx 2 inch metal strip. What's that for?

It's to tell us you have a reproduction strap. I suggest you flatten the rivets with a grinder and when they are flat enough pry off the metal strip and toss it in the ash can.

To install a strap properly put it around the back of your neck with the stock & holster in front between your knees, stock towards you. Thread the ends of the strap into the top holes of the stock, down into the stock block and back into the stock.

Tom says.. Don't forget to put on dual mag pouch, BEFORE installing 2nd strap end. This is ONLY if it is a Navy. Artillery Luger rigs NEVER have this double mag pouch worn on the strap. They were belt worn.
BUT..Since yours is a repro rig I suspect it came with the strap type double mag pouch.
