Three roundels for comparison:

David's buckle:
WAF member's buckle source: ( NSBO Buckle - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums ) :
And the backs of the above:

WAF member's buckle ( source: NSBO Buckle - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums ) :
I think that someone made the roundels, which were either bought by well-known companies (Overhoff, Berg und Nolte) or applied to boxes made by those companies. Above pictured are three identical roundels affixed to two different types of boxes. I'm almost certain that Berg und Nolte made the box which is owned by the WAF member, and as Ben points out, Overhoff might have made the boxes for the others.
I do not claim to know anything about NSBO buckles, but I believe this is an original variant, although in bad condition. Comments appreciated
Original N.S.B.O. buckle, albeit a tad "tired and distressed".
Regards,
David
