Schalburg Korp and perhaps something else?

Here are images of what I think is an interesting buckle and I wonder what the correct designation and description is?

There is an immediate association with Schalburg Korp, although some suggest Deutscher Pfadfinder and early NSDAP supporters. If my memory serves me correctly, I think that one of the reference books even has an image of an early SS man wearing a similar buckle!

I have seen this roundel set on different types of brass boxes, rather than a "common" style of box.

In addition, I have seen the roundel positioned in two ways. One with the swastika arms as vertical and horizontal and one, where the swastika arms are set at roughly 45 degrees. I wonder if there is some significance by this?

As always, any comments would be welcome.

Regards,

David
