First, thank you for the photo.
Okay, I'm confused.
The buckle end of the strap has a loop where the metal buckle fits. It is sewn closed so the buckle isn't going anywhere. Three inches ... |

I'm probably misunderstanding what you are describing, but how can a sewn closed loop go through a footman's loop?
All the loop seems to do is create a double thickness of material.
It looks lik ... |

Received mine from QTM, excellent service!
I installed them as illustrated and they look great.
Really helps "finish off" the looks of the vehicle.
However, I do not understand why the "loop" at ... |

The QTM item is 19".
So still short of the 22" referenced in the manual
Having the manual does do you much good if...

I see that the manual says 22". I get it.
KW, who I'd guess know something, offer MB straps at 10.5", and M38 at 15.
So, will a 15" work? |

KW lists all their M38A1 units with spring buckles.
Their slide type buckle is listed to fit the M38 and are 15" long.
Will that work on a M38A1? |

I didn't say I didn't believe you.
It's just that I have had excellent service and advice from sellers like MWM. |

Thanks for those illustrations.
The trouble is the vendors.photos do not show enough detail.
Then you have them saying what they have (spring type) is correct when the manual seems to say they are ... |

Couldn't you buy a spray can of color matched paint made for armor modelers and use that to make a test card to go from?

Yes, but....
Before I ask a hardworking guy, a vendor who likely doesn't have a staff and will have to do it himself, and who I'll probably need a favor from in the future, to drop everything to meas ... |

That's all great, I appreciate your efforts, but I will point out none of the vendors list part numbers (WO or ORD) or dimensions for their straps.
Makes ordering the correct one difficult.
