Hi Danny ,Have a look at MASH Japan or even eBay has some buttons for vintage military stuff, sometimes.
Good luck with your search.
Dany
I would have put a listing in the ‘wanted’ section but I’m restricted from posting there . Probably something to do with being new to protect members from scammers .Chris,
Oh I see, your stuck...
The ones I saw on Ebay were sold as is, with no provenance or application. Its a guess for the buyer if its not clear... Will ping you if I see something on Ebay.
And maybe someone here can help you out with his/her stash.

Yep, M51 or M65 buttons are much easier to get info on. Easier to find on eBay and listed on the Mash site . I bought some there on standby if I can’t find a couple or correct onesYou may have to find buttons closely resembling them and replace them with those.
This one looks the closest so far, I’d need to check the size when I get home late tonight, but the cuff buttons are large . The m48 ones ( presuming they are original ) are very brown and shiny, with a very pronounced large round edge. They are complete flat to the rear. https://www.atthefront.com/product-p/ushwmkbtn.htmAt The Front might have some that could work.

Thank you Jonny, II already bought some M51 style buttons but I’m just seeing if I can find some correct ones before I cut all the good ones off and replace with M51.Also found these military, but olive, not a dark colour like yours

No problems, I used to buy buttons in by the bag when I saw them cheap, and original thread haha never know when you need them for a renovationThank you Jonny, II already bought some M51 style buttons but I’m just seeing if I can find some correct ones before I cut all the good ones off and replace with M51.
