Such attachment is not typical either for Central Asia (photo 2), nor for Afghanistan (photo 3). This "leather loop" - useful for a small knife, but not for a large sword ...
Although I will be glad if someone can tell me really old scabbard for the sword of the Central Asia with such a "leather loop"
