Unknown Marine WR seersucker item

Amazing the things that turn up. These two small straps appear to be for the Marine WR summer seersucker uniform, or at least somehow related to it, but I cannot see them in use in any picture or reference work that I have available. My best guess is a waist gusset, but who knows? Unfortunately I don't have access to the uniform closet or I'd go down there and look. Our curator just quit :(. Can anyone identify these?

Looking closer, it looks like there's a hole at the mid-way point where the single maltese cross would have been pinned on the red side.

These are the epaulets for the summer cadet nurse searsucker. They were attached by the silver nurse cadet buttons, and had the small maltese cross pinned on them.
