I did a little more research and came to the conclusion that this is not a WW2 era belt because of the trapeze shaped metal rings.
Nice one, I have a couple and I could never date them.
Devilishly difficult to date or even be sure which country made them. Used in all the Commonwealth nations and the US had a version as well. And often no marks.

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing he cares more about than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature with no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
That makes sense. I was looking at some of the Sam Browne belts on The Collector's Guild (germanmilitaria.com) and saw those belts had oval rings and brass buttons whereas this one has darker buttons and trapeze rings. Definitely do not want to risk purchasing it.
