It is true that you have produced a tight fit, but the evidence shows the suspension rings right next to and even overlapped by the frog buttons, which is why I no longer support the leather loop idea. I think Cesar has succeeded in coming closest to the correct positioning but even in his photo the suspension rings are not close enough to the frog buttons. However, that said, the rigid vertical positioning of the the sheath itself in your photo appears to be in keeping with the contemporaty depictions. The frogs just need to be much closer to it.
