I thought the same thing Joe but interestingly enough in trying to research an answer to Erik's initial question I noted that the sketch of this buckle on page 153 of Thomas Reid's German Belt Buckles 1847-1945 has, what appears to be, a rivet in the very same spot at the top. Unfortunately he doesn't give any indication as to where this buckle was made and as it does not appear to have a maker's mark one can not say by whom, either.

If those drawings were only photos!! , it could be a mistake but Reid also lists it as a "type V" construction. Which is like the aluminum SS enlisted type catch.This is probably just a variation..G.

This buckle is worth more attention, they are very scarce. I only have seen a handful of them. Almost all of them have these two added rivets. The reason this was done is the fragility of these buckles. The construction with the four prongs is the one used for parade buckles but these buckles where used with the working uniform and the roundel would be ripped of the buckle very quickly, this is why the buckles were re-enforced with two rivets. As most of these buckles are like this I suppose this was done officially in the unit or maybe even at the factory after they realized the fragility. I own two such buckles and the only one I know who has not been modified.
