"Folded up" British bayonet frogs.

[Flying10uk]

There are some British bayonet frogs coming onto the milserps collector's market in what I like to call "folded up" state. I had assumed that this was simply a step taken out of conveniency in order to take up less space in storage. Recently it was suggested to me that the frogs were actually sometimes worn in the "folded up" state when in use with the British No4 Pig-sticker bayonet. If this is the case I don't see how the frog could be attached to the relatively wide British belt? This may seem like a fairly simplistic question to ask but it is one that I don't know the answer to. Many thanks for any information.

N.B. In this instance the frogs are blancoed blue indicating RAF issue although this is not really relevant to the question.
