Hello,
are there traces of green/fieldgrey paint under the gold paint???
Many makers made gold KM steel buckle and Assmann was one of these. But in general, gold paint was applied directly over steel (and NOT over an already painted WH green buckle). IMO.
Did Assmann use paint on their KM buckles, rather than fire gilding? I haven't seen many KM buckles from them in person, so I don't know if that feature is common to Assmann, but this one looks painted to me.
