It simple aluminium is looking completely diffrent from steel. Aluminium is more shining than steel. steel is more matt.

one more thin about Y straps. That black metal part seems to be replaced. Its diffrent from other parts.Comment

Y- straps may need more pictures - difference in webbing color and hardware collor may suggest that front straps were messed with..
back strap is wrong - somebody made it uo from a piece of webbing - take it off before You gonna destroy lether under the O-ring (strap whoul go thru O-ring - not hang on leather)
\
Web frog is a fake - You can buy them on ebay...
one more thing - back lethar plate - under the O-ring is from different set - You can see new dark stiches there..
Also this RFNr number with 0008 at the end is from full leather straps - I used to own pair like that and I'v seen more of these online - straps from that manufacturer are always made of leather..
I would say these straps are tottaly put together...Comment

I think that Michael could be right in this matter.Comment

you could be right about the tail hook beying alu. it is restitcht so that is possible.
the black hook on the front beying different would be that big problem, i do not see any restitch on that place.
the leather flap beying restitch is something i can not agree with to be honest.
i see some treath differences be i can not tell that this is wrong. on what do you base that ???

backp leather plate is restiched - notice black thread and tan thread - black is replaced exactly where You have to do it to remove the O-ringComment

an here unmessed with 0008 made straps - this manufacturer was maeking only leather straps as far as I am concerned (ex my collection..)Comment

now the front straps, notice the difference between stiches 1 and 2 and difference in hardware 3 and 4
stiches 1 and 2 have different color - in case of 1 color of thread is some funny green
elements 3 and 4 dont need too much comment - maybe one - where is a rust on the web element matching this rusted buckle no. 4 ???
plus obvious difference in canvas colour...Comment

thats what I mean when saying a "matching wear and rust.."Comment

one more picture of how unmessed with straps look like
I believe your straps were attached to a backpack - thats why whole back strap and leather parts had to be refitted - also front pouches straps were most likely cut down and then reconstructed
these front seams are crucial - maybe you can make a picture of them ... ?
but I am 99% positive about my theory.. sorry...Comment

well thanks, there is nothing i can do about it. what could a Y-straps like these beworth. in a trade i paid 300€ for them.......

yeah.. sorry - thats no good - this pouches straps are not even finished the way they should - just cut down and sewn on..
