The portopee was worn only on daggers of Waffen SS troops. They used the standard length found on Heer daggers.

Ok thanks Bob, from the research and photos ive seen most if not all the daggers had the Heer dagger portepee.

With restrictions on the type of uniform it could be worn with, the Reichsführer-SS in 1943 for the balance of the war authorized the wearing of the M 1936 dagger by W/SS officers with the Army portepee. With a different order in that year which applied the same sort of guidelines to the Security Police and the SD, also specifying the Army portepee. FP
