M1 Carbine Sling Question USGI or not?

Post-WWII slings. MRT-63 means treated for mold and rot-treated in 1963. I think they're all G.I. but I'm not the 'sling guy' around here. I would expect these slings to have been used from after WWII until the carbine was taken out of service.

So, then a C-tip sling like I have on one of my carbines could be WWII issue despite being stamped MRT 53 on it then. I always assumed it was the year the sling was made...now I know!
