Looks like the centre of the Wehrmacht buckle, is it painted brass or is it made from brass? I once had a Spanish make K98 which had a circular brass plate in the same place. No idea why it's on this model though!

It would have been added 'after market' i.e. privately, not military issue.

There is a very, very outside chance that it was a show piece made up by a Kriegsmarine armourer for a drill display but this is very unlikely, never seen before and with no provenance to back this up not worth considering.
