One thought is these are private purchase for walking out dress KS.98, not the Sg.98 service bayonet. I believe them for the service bayonet. The only ones dated are 1941, a period of equipment shortage and rapid arming of troops for Barbarossa. These are maker marked, "C.Riese Berlin SO 16 1941" like issue combat frogs of the period. Note in the pics below a pic of the same maker stamp on a leather combat frog dated 1940.
