This type of Belt Buckle was used for many purposes.
The most noted being by Regimental Police or with Number One Dress with a 2” White Web or Plastic Belt.
Both the illustrated belt buckles use the standard issue collar badge, fixed into place by its own backplate and split pin. The brass version has the pin bent to tighten it within the hole, while the Chrome Plated version has a piece of green felt between the buckle and backplate.
