Hoping someone recognizes this mon. It's found on a number of late-war gunto. I don't think it's a kamon, as it is identical on 3 separate gunto, all of the identical style fittings.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Just are poor craftsmanship edition of a Sakura IMO
This seems to be the same theme
That's a different piece compared with the one on your example. It doesn't really look like a Mon to me.
I didn’t expect them to be family mon, but I wanted to bounce it off you guys to be sure. My thought is that it’s a company crest, maybe the shop that made the gunto, since it’s identical on all 3 examples we have. But Gunto’s idea may explain it too. If they were made by occupied Chinese or Koreans, the emblem might have cultural meaning to their world.
It's not a Mon, nor a company logo. Just how a button is looked like. That's where they got the design idea from.
A menuki, mekugi is the bamboo pin
