Default Nomenclature - Shoulder Belt Badges

I'm struggling to understand the correct nomenclature for these - if there is a 'correct' term.

I refer to the single strap belt used to carry the pouch (not the double cross straps).

Is the strap itself called a 'Shoulder Belt'? Or is it a 'Pouch Belt'?

The badge on the pouch itself would be the 'Pouch Badge'. I'm pretty sure thats correct.

But what is the badge worn on the front on the single strap? Is it a 'Shoulder Belt Badge', or a 'Pouch Belt Badge', or a 'Breast Plate Badge'?

Or have I got better things to worry about...?
