Old cartridge belt identification--help

Good morning. I am looking for some assistance identifying this cartridge belt. It appears to be a Mills product, possibly from the 1880's, however I cannot locate an exact match in my internet research, so I am turning to the experts here.
It is khaki in color, approx 42" long, and is marked with a #"2" on the inside of the belt. I cannot locate any other marking, on the belt or buckle. See the pix below.

Any assistance with what I actually have would be appreciated.
Thanks. Mike

  We can't view your pics but does it look like the one below? That's for the .30-40 Krag rifle.

  Sorry for the posting issues.
  Mine is similar is color and design. Mine does not have the brass metal clips at the end of the material, just a stitched hem. The only other hardware, the clips around the belt near the buckle are round wire. The buckle is thick.
  I have reset this question, with pix, post in a new topic posting

  Thanks for your continued patience....

  So I have found a similar one listed as M1881 Blue Web Anson Mill's .30-40 Cartridge belt with original US Brass belt plate with catch and two brass slides. Great find to display with your Spanish American War Springfield Krag US Infantry rifle

  I think back in the day there were many small contractors producing limited runs on low bid, but yours should should be from that same time frame and for the same purpose.

  it is similar to that one...only my buckle appears to be cast and has some thickness to it. The others pictured appear to be stamped and much thinner.
