Default 1917 Enfield bayonet by Remington later used by Home Guard

I acquired this bayonet this morning from an acquaintance, it has a leather attachment marked "G &K 1917" ( the scabbard itself is marked GF ) on the scabbard which is not like others I have seen but that may be because I haven't seen too many of these bayonets before.

My acquaintance tells me the bayonet was issued to his father in the Home Guard in Bangor North Wales during WW2.

With this fitting on the scabbard I wonder how the Home Guard would have attached the bayonet to their belts ?

P.B.
