1870's Infantry crossed rifles belt plate

[HEAVYMETALNUT]

Dug this today. looks like the original hook and bar broke off ( see old braze marks) and they attempted to make new attachments using iron rivets or something. Most people are saying Spanish-American War. Just wanted to get more feedback on it from you guys. Appreciate any info!update. someone sent me a photo of one he dug and shows the tongue portion still on back
