I purchased a few slings recently as post-war slings, but I believe 2 are late WWII.

The keeper is ribbed, but has a narrow "lock" shown here (post #5): Web Sling identification - CMP Forums

They also have blackened brass tips.

When were the aluminum and parkerized steel used? Is there a difference in the weave from war to post-war?
