Thanks Threadline. Yes the stamp likely says Middlemore & Lamplugh. As I said it is rather indistinct. Thank you for the clarification. However the pouch style is not the same as those shown in your other post. Yours show a single layer flap, and the one on my belt has a double layer.
In relation to the buckle, it is similar in shape and design to those used on most true Omani belts and has been discussed elsewhere on the Forum. This style appears to attributed to the interior of Oman....Rostag/Nizwa regions.
Attached is a pic of an Omani ammunition belt with the same buckle.
