Crispus - which pieces from Hod Hill do you mean?
The scrolled palmettes can also be found on Mainz type scabbards too, such as on the Porto Novo find.
Off the top of my head, the earliest irrefutable Pompeii scabbard furniture I can think of in the UK is from Loughor (Flavian?)
Maybe the blades themselves are a better guide than scabbard furniture.
