Looks like a common repro. Any smell, other than musty, is a warning sign.

I don't know straps very well but the sheen would have been a red flag to me.

I believe that some late war chinstraps had a shiny finish. there are a couple examples i have seen with a shiny finish.

By late war nothing was shiny that I am aware of. They had become acutely aware of how important camouflage was. Keep in mind I'm no expert and can't say for sure. It certainly doesn't look even in age when the black shows the cracks but the center seems good and then the brown side seems shiny. It would be one I would walk past and leave based on those things.
