Alex, What you are looking at is a reproduction strap. An original has an even #of holes on each end, I forget how many but 8 or 10, 72" long. The thickness should be a tad over one tenth of an inch.
I have never seen an original Artillery strap with any kind of metal plate attached. This fixture is the mark of a phony. Jerry Burney

Ritchie Shavel brought up an interesting point..This may be a Persian Artillery strap. Persian Artillery rigs. I really can't say about these..I have never made a study of the Persian Artillery items, who made them , when or any peculiarities or differences in the German ones. I only know about Original German Artillery's.
