Good question, Tarbicus!
I think it's possible some pugiones sheath were fitted to the frogs directly, without any kind of leather pieces.
Some pugio discs are very little, and could pass inside the pelta-shaped buckles of the B types sheaths.
Is the way that i use sometimes:

Some discs are very big to pass inside the buckles/rings, but are riveted to the frog. So, you can pass the buckle or ring to the frog, and then put the disc and peen the rivet.
In fact, there are no need to take off the sheath of the cingulum, except probably to cleen it.
The final appearence will match very close the representation of the steles.
