I have a similar buckle on a sword belt I wore at military school. It was a naval military school and my buckle is brass. Hope this helps.

Called a False Two Piece,and should Date to the 1880's-.The Silver washed ones are a bit more rare....possibly Officers?I dunno?

...just a follow up,and confirmation on what I stated above,it is on page 607 Plate 1020 of Odonnels Buckle book.They state that it is indeed a Officers dress buckle/plate..also states that an unusual feature is, "the eagle is standing on both talons,on the shank of the anchor"
