If this is the correct securing strap for battery it means I need one identical as I only have this one.
Is it common that these strap are with double buckles?

Maximum battery dimensions are 4.75" x 4.125", for a circumference/perimeter of 17.75".

The double buckles are standard - they're self-locking so the strap can be threaded through them and pulled tight to hold the battery in place.

I've attached the battery specifications - these are for the final version (with NATO stock numbers, etc.) - the battery stayed in service for a considerable time, as it was used to power other equipment (Field telephone amplifier) as well as the WS18, WS46 and WS68, etc.
