That looks good. But the object is quite different from the button-loop fasteners IMO. Much smaller, and formed differently (mini-loops), We also have to keep in mind that there are different types of cloak. A sagum will certainly go with a fibula. A paenula is different. Some seem to have been sewn together at the front completely (Junkelmann), and this example seems to show a mix, where the upper part of the opening was closed with what may be these objects seen on the Camomile Street soldier.
