The other end would be a clue...

Here are some pictures of the other ends of the belts. One belt looks as if a round clip has broken so that the end clip is missing and the other belt, appears to me, to just have a standard end tab?

The one on the left appears to be German; it is dated "(unreadable) 41". That is the month and year of manufacture. Some will also have a maker's stamp there. Earlier belts will have links made of thicker steel without the lengthwise middle crease; later links will be thinner and have 2 additional creases to stiffen them.
The one on the right indeed has a broken-off link, not an end tab. Count the links and you'll probably find it has fewer than the normal 50.
