Doorway straps

Would these straps be for GP, MA?

They don’t look to me correct for any Jeep although look nicely old with patina. But they are different made.
Also the buckles should be casted type for prototype jeeps.

I too would expect cast buckles, any documented evidence relating to buckles, cast vs stamped?

[Ladislav]

For MA casted buckles are correct. Also for Slat grill. On my GP, under passenger seat the buckles for top stovage are original and are casted.
I thik sometimes in 1942 they changed to stamped ones due large batches/orders (lower cost production).

Ladislav thanks for the information.
