I found all these things in an 4 hour hunt near Mt Holly NJ. During construction of a convenience store ( Super WaWa). Looks to me like this may have been where they manufactured the buckles?? Never got another chance to go back and construction is done.:(

There is some World War One military gear in your WaWa-site finds. Your photo #2 shows the buckle from a WW1 US army gasmask bag strap. (Look at the strap's end in the photo, below.) Your photo #7 shows the WW1-era hooks from the sling of a BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle).
