Are there 3 types of side strap buckles?

I know there are d-rings and the rectangular sliders, but is there another configuration? Does wested also do 2 plain rectangular rings (per side)like the d-rings or are the first two the only two?

I think Wested in now using the two rectangular ring or D-rings. As I remember Peter hasn't been able to get the slider for a while.

Can anyone confirm if I'm correct?

There are D-Rings, Rectangular Loops (commonly mistaken for sliders) and Sliders.

Wested is now doing the correct Raiders version of sidestrap hardware which are two rectangular loops on each strap. It looks like this:

Lately, the ones they've been using have been brass (ideally, they would be gunmetal grey or flat black). Sliders have a different configuration (imagine a rectangle with a line down the middle).

Hope this helps.
