I think that the tang should be changed completely for with this type of handle the pugio becomes top heavy, check out a few originals and you will find that most only have a 1/4" width of tang that is just over half the length of the hand grip.
Then with pressed out handle pieces and a thin wood between them you have a semi hollow hand grip that not only looks original but feels good also and it does not drag the belt down by being too heavy.
