Fake carbine but original sling

At this picture somebody decided that this is PPD sling

At this picture dog collars are replacements - from Mosin slings

Doesn't look like D-ring on the last pic, why do you think those are SVT slings?

 

[Ratnik]

There were at least 2 types of rings - trapeze and rectangular.
I saw only trapeze shape ring at wartime pictures, but equipment references of that period show rectangular rings
