✅ SOLVED Repro brass military buckle?

[vhs07]

I've had this buckle for about ten years and have always thought it to be modern, but would like to be sure.

Thanks in advance.

From the ones I have seen. It appears to be too well made.
I would say a repo. I do not think the back tabs are correct.
Also appears to be too thin...
Very nice..

The back was what always bothered me.
