Can someone with an original Artillery Luger holster rig enlighten me on the following topic please?

I have a 1917 DWM Artillery. I just bought a repro holster from CRM International in England and am very happy with the quality. However, it came without the shoulder strap being correctly laced through the slots in the shoulder board, and I'm not sure how it should be laced. I therefore have 3 questions:
1) How does the strap lace through the 4 slots in the shoulder board?
2) What is the precise correct placement of the top flap for screwing in the 4 screws that hold it to the back of the shoulder board?
3) What is the purpose of the metal wear plate that's rivetted to the shoulder strap, and what is it's correct position vis-a-vis the rest of the rig?
Thanks in advance for any advice or photos someone can provide to help me figure this out.
