Yes, yours does appear to be a buckle. The link I provided was (hopefully) giving clearer details and some additional info (St. Edward's crown) to better track this down.

"When the Merchant Navy started to use the foul anchor device, a crown was added for all naval officers in 1812. The same basic design remains in use today." (granted, the page is about buttons, but it tells of the year the crown was added)
Still searching, but have only found partials and all on the UK site.
