A while ago, Christian K. on this forum sent me a document on the complete writeup of this belt. The article said that they are silver laminate which is what the curator said. Also a while back on this forum, Cesar posted pictures of the frog with the belt plates. There is no green on those.
So I have to say based on all three pieces of evidence that the belt is silver or silver laminate. However, it is possible there may be some confusion since there was a discussion on RAT some time ago where two belts from two places were being confused: Pompei and Ercolano.
The belt I am referring to is not the belt on the Ercolano soldier. It is the other belt which is from Pompei and VERY well preserved
