WWI OR 1920'S EQUIPMENT STRAP ID NEEDED - Shotgun?

[July1, 1916-HLI17SB]

Buckle and color look to be WWI or 1920's vintage. The strap itself is very much like a shotgun pouch strap, but the buckle is attached and the attachments themselves are reinforced with studs. Perhaps a variant or a strap for something else. 1" wide and approx. 3' 10" long when fully extended.

Looks like ones that the medics bags and suspenders used.

 

See these as a substitute strap on m ussette bags too that were added at some point.
