It's the way that the Deepeeka suspension loops are applied that is completely innacurate. The rivets do not pass all the way through the sheath as on all originals. This way they can apply the (stamped) brass pieces to each half of the sheath prior to it being assembled and brazed-up. The two halves of the suspension loop are then fixed together.(innacurate) It's just a way of speeding up their manufacturing process.
This is how, (when you look at the back of the Deepeeka plain pugio sheath), the rivets - although set well into the body of the sheath still allow the blade to pass beneath.
I wouldn't worry too much about making new holes in the rear of the sheath. No-one sees it, so a better placing of the replacement parts can be achieved without compromising the blade movement.
