Buckle on both are not consistent with period originals. In my opinion they are modern reproductions aged to make look original.

Best regards.

both straps are modern day fake straps, made in the Czech republic. They have been used and aged to appear old. They also could be 10-15 years old or more, as the Rb numbered straps first appeared in the mid 1990's, but are still being made today. The giveaway is the buckle. Use the search function here and look up "humpback fake" or "humpback repo", the name given to this style of buckle, because it has a hump on the back of the buckle where the leather passes through.
