I think that the Camomile Street Soldier is enough to explain the use of these smaller type of fasteners and also the toggle with loop is indeed evidence of how things functioned, and as far as your idea of these right angle brackets of these may have had a strap or toggle under any material that one has to fumble for beneath a garment sounds just a bit strange for any soldier to want to mess around with.
They may well have had other uses however the idea of sword suspension is yet a subject that has no evidence at all only assumption for there is no under view of a belt to give any evidence for this.
