Default Visayan suspension

I was recently interested in Philippines bolo, particularly the bolo from the Visayan region. After some searching, I have came across the picture from Wikimedia commons here:


My question is as follows: What types of suspension is most common among a Visayan bolo? Is the sword suspended using belt or with a baldric? I've also noticed that the scabbard slides on B, C looks similar to a viking scabbard slide. However it seems to permit thin rope through it instead of a typical leather baldric I am familiar with.

Not to bog down with too much question, but how is scabbard type A suspended anyway? From the picture seems to me it does not have a scabbard slide or any suspension method I am familiar with.

Thanks!
