Yes, certainly. They're very common in leather. They'll be found with both brass and steel hardware, sometimes a combination of the two. As a long time bayonet collector I very much welcome the new information. Thank you very much! On another note the frog pictured on the left is intended for wood scabbards, you'll note the larger scabbard pocket. The frog on the right has had it's strap and buckle replaced. The leather is too new and the brass buckle is very out of place on that variation frog. Never say never with frogs, but in this case....
P.S. You'll find aluminum buckles on early T30 frogs as well as Murata frogs.
