Will some of you with such military knowledge, tell me what country and what gun this holster once represented?

Looks like a British P37 holster but these aren't my thing.

British RAF holster could be a P1937 or it looks more like a P1925. How many brass hooks does it have on the back, 2 or 3? AM is for Air Ministry.

Scroll about half way down the page to "P'37 Web Holster for Small-Frame Revolver "

Standard P'37 Web Equipment "pistol case", designed to fit the British .380 Enfield revolver and, in the Canadian context, our standard-issue .38/.380 S&W M&P revolvers. Made with an internal slot for a cleaning rod. Also known to have been used with the 9mm Inglis High Power. Various manufacturers - this particular example made by "Z. L. & T. Ltd" and dated 1940.

Check Karkee Web site and click on P1925 equipment pistol equipment and notice that the snap fastener is offset and the P1937 it is more central. Does it have 2 or 3 hooks on the back, 2 is 1925 and 3 1937.
