    I had one of these safety harness straps a few years ago and recall it had a sort of spring loaded claw / catch that obviously clamped on to some sort of rail where it could slide along to allow more movement - which is what I can see and recognise in the picture - afraid your fitting does not look familiar and doesnt seem to match the photo either IMO - Sorry.

    The harness one looks like it only has a single ear where as the part you have has 2 ears.

    From memory the harness attachment was a split ear / clamp that opened on pushing the spring loaded collar down - I assumed this clipped on to a rail it could slide along.
