Y Straps...are they repro?

HI,
I received this images of a Y belt for sale. The seller say it's original, but I'not so sure. I think they are a repro or a post ww2 production for some East Europe country.
What do you think?

Post war Czech. The pebbled leather gives it away.

Dan is correct.

Cheers, Ade.

They are original Y straps, so the seller is right, but they are not German Y straps, not even wwII. Like Dan said thay are Czech post-war Y straps, but indeed original ones.
The colour, material and the shape of the D rings and buckles tell they are not German war period.

Partisan have a look at this website there is some very good information regarding Y-straps (Koppeltragegestell) and other German TR era field gear and it is owned and run by one of are own (MP44tom) you will find the information accurate and very helpful in your search for an original set.
