The Mexican Loop is traditionally made by cutting slits/slots in the skirt to form a loop by pushing the strip of leather between the cuts forward and the holster pouch is then pushed through the loop. The holster is thus formed from one piece of leather.

The OP's holsters are a method where the loops are separate pieces, these can be rivetted or Chicago screws used to attach them to the skirt. This is an easier way as it can be a bit fiddly getting the slits cut just right so that it's all a neat fit with no slop. I've made a few holsters where I cut vertical slots in the skirt for the loop piece to go through and it's joined at the rear of the skirt, just another variation.

This is true. Lots of times people just use the term Mexican Loop for any of the ones that have a loop to hold the holster to the back but techicanally these are of a diferent style.

I know a year late again.

Very nice. 

If you get a chance check out London Jack on YouTube, he has a Build with a light gauge metal in it. Called the walk and draw.
