The buckle is definetly an Officer Buckle, and it appears to be a later war issue. The late war issue was not as "heft" as the earlier buckles and the material was an aluminum or other alloy. I do know that they will break easy if much pressure is put on them.
I also have a vet return rig that has an enlisted mans belt and buckle with it. I also have a complete Political Leaders PPK, Holster, and a beautiful Political Leaders Belt and Buckle.
A nice lookkng outfit you have Wes!!!!
