··Ωf Jury memberCatalogues from that period typically did not show buckles, as they were only signed on the back (if at all), and looked like those used by many other manufacturers.
They would have been along these lines, and unsigned examples can be found:

··ΩF InvestiGatorThe buckle might vary in shape and size based on where the watch was originally sold.
There was a US manufacturer (I wish I knew whom) that made the exact same buckles for Longines, LeCoultre, Wittnauer, Universal and others. It looks like the one in your ad.
They came in two sizes, 13mm and 16mm as well as various metals (steel, gold-plated, 14K and rarely 18K).
Hope this helps,

·Looks like the Tropic strap buckles are a close match to the older ones. More flat areas, but could work in a pinch?
