As far as I can see, there's nothing wrong with this piece. Blue web tabs are pretty rare, but have been seen before. Whether buckle and tab started a meaningful relationship before or after 1945 can't really be detected from the photos, but wear on both seems to be even. On the basis of the photos, I'd give a thumbs-up.

No, as far as know no-one has ever done a comparative study systemising particular features of marked buckles that would allow comparison with unmarked buckles. Why don't you start with this labour of love?
