    Early beetle buckle?

    Howdy. Bought some used gear on eBay (1.0 hexon netless hammock billed as Dutchware, but there's no label so who knows?) mainly to get a second set of straps and beetle buckles on the cheap so I can set up a double hang system.

    This is what I got.

    Actual BB on the blue strap, other thing on the spider.

    Definitely not the BBs I already have. Parts are smaller, and the non-hook piece is just a small slider. Might be a functional suspension unto itself (can't test it at the moment) but the center hole won't work with my planned double hang. I'm bummed.

    Anybody know if Dutch had an early prototype beetle buckle that was out there? Somebody making knock-offs? All I can find going to back to two year old Dutchware videos is something that looks like my genuine BBs.
