I think this is in error as it makes no sense, if you compare the drawing posted by Thomas its clear the original strap end should just clear the buckle, this is something I've found with other similar matching belt buckle and stap ends of this type...

"And the four bare walls stand on the seashore. a wreck a skeleton a monument of that instability and vicissitude to which all things human are subject. Not a dwelling within sight, and the farm labourer, and curious traveller, are the only persons that ever visit the scene where once so many thousands were congregated." T.Lewin 1867
