The assumption is that a piece of aluminum tape was placed over the "US DIVERS" stamp. This is due to the verticle "line" at the squared-end of the buckle (see Brak's first pic in this thread for reference). I ended up using my stamped buckle as the strap cuts in the back of it made the most sense for adjusting the waist strap. The plain buckle I had is designed more for a permanent, non-adjusting belt. Both buckles are pictured above in one of my previous post.

I was wondering if it was ever determined if the one on the real fett suit had painted tape covering the front of the buckle or not? If so, any ideas on what color or what tape? same as the helmet perhaps? If it wasn't painted does anyone have a suggestion for a good way to remove/hide the lettering?
I would recommed using a lighter shade of whatever color you used on your chest armor for painting the buckle. The real one almost looks like a mint green.
