How does this sling work?

[BVZ24]

The question is the title, how does this sling attach to a Lee Enfield?
It was sold as being an original Lee Enfield leather sling. I am not finding much documentation on how to correctly attach it to the rifle. The best way I can figure out, the sling is too loose to reasonably carry. Can anyone provide guidance?

Let me put the pics up for all to see... Doesn't look like Lee Enfield at all with that buckle.

Looks like a strap, not a sling.

For it to be a sling each end would have to attach to the sling swivels on your rifle, obviously. I don't see how this would be possible without modification.

I think it's just one of the ordinary pre-1914/Home Guard ones which somebody has modified with a tongued buckle.

They had a double set of holes at the strap end which was for the leather thong to fasten. This never had that... Too long to have been cut off too.

Not all there? (The sling, that is!)

Best way I could figure out. It's tight enough to carry, so I think I'm close, but it doesn't seem to go any tighter for the purposes of rack storage

The sling is on the wrong way round. Your rifle needs a swivel /loop at the mag. Start at the mag heading towards the middle band. Go through the swivel/loop then the keeper along the forend through the loop then thread your buckle on with the pin facing out and forward with the sling hanging towards the butt thread the two keepers on now put the sling through the butt loop going up the rifle through the two keepers and around the buckle push a keeper up to the buckle to hold the buckle in place the other down to the butt loop. you adjust the buckle to get a good carry position this also will give a good shooting sling position by pulling the outside part of the sling out to form a loop with the inner side flat along the belly of the rifle.
This is a very versatile sling to use

I think that this sling might be from a m/96 Swedish Mauser.
