Original? German Y straps, advice needed

I have been offered a set of what appears to me to be a later style WW2 German y-strap set for 100 euros. Its in good shape minus the one missing end tab. To me it all checks out except for the large "blank" rivets. I poured through every militaria reference I have and have not found another one with this style. Does this y-strap set check out to you guys? This would be my first set I own so I have none I can compare to it in person, so I have been relying on vendor reference pages like fjm44.

To me it seems fishy that he is offering less than half market value for these, one area I suspect is off is the big smooth rivets, never seen any wartime rivets like it.
 
Than walk away, and pick one up at a Gun Show from someone you trust or ask on the forum if someone has one to sell or trade. If there is no rush why take the risk.

God Bless
