Default Rear spade handle and axe handle middle straps.

Hi, On the Mk1 Canadian carrier half way along the spade and axe wooden handles there is a strap arrangement. There is a small metal bracket which retains the buckled straps, two questions :

Is this bracket the same on the Mk1 as on the Mk2?.

Has any one got a photo of them, are they the same for both handles?

Many thanks Kevin.
