Help: Lee Enfield leather sling question

[dagc]

Hi everyone. I am buying a Lee Enfield leather sling. (It's a reproduction).

I have 2 choices. Either the type with 2 rivets in the loop keeper or the type that have leather through the loop keeper.

Which one is more authentic? I personally like the look of the leather, but I don't know enough to say which is better or authentic.

Example of the leather type holding the loop keeper:

I have an original with loose leather stripes to tie off ends and my keeper is rivets. However, who knows where my keeper came from, colour is tad different. I have seen both styles keeper, on Ross, SMLE and more.
