Where these straps marked in any way??

What is the best means for determining originality, as they seem to be an easy item to knock off convincingly?

These are not marked. They were an expedient item, likely field made. They would have used the two shoulder strap adjustment studs for a pair of these. Finding an accurate couple of these studs is a tad difficult. Crap repro's are everywhere but good studs...originals are impossible. I had a few made up in steel awhile back but they are quite expensive. I use them on Artillery shoulder straps I make.
