Riverbank? Chinese, I'd guess. I was at the Phoenix Gun Show at year. Walking around saw a table plied high with mint WWII web Garand slings. Mint and correct. Except for the small paper tag on each keeper "China" I would have bought 2-3. I came back the next day, all gone. Some Ebay dealer got them. Slowly being sold off now. "Let the buyer beware".

I believe he told me they are Italian. I have about 20 of them. I got them from a man named Tom Pecina about 15 years ago before he died. Tom lived in Bellview ILL.https://www.milsurps.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=40

The oiler is not US, it is Italian. Back in the 1980's they were selling for $25.00 and up and quite rare. So many have come into the country that today they are everywhere cheap.
