I'm no expert, but I've never seen anything like this before. Perhaps this is what inspired Sporran Hangers?
I'd think you could modify a typical sporran chain pretty easily by cutting off the extra links and adding some small clips from a crafts or hobby store.

Sporran suspenders are small chains with leather loops that fit over the belt.
But due to the wide spacing of these "D" rings, I suspect that they are designed for the regular sporran chain to slide through. In this case all they do is hold the sporran chain a bit higher so the sporran chain does not go under the belly.
Honestly this is the first time I have seen this. They look like a custom, 1-off, or wearer added thing.

I'm cynicalas to whether this is a Kilt belt with D rings for sporran- looks more like it could be part of a Sam Brown to me?

Having worn many Sam Brown Belts I can say this is not like any I ever wore.
A Sam Brown is a load bearing device for a sword, pistol or heavy map case. There are four attachment places all on the left. Two up and two down.

My first thought was also Sam Browne but couldn't figure the spacing. It may have been the inspiration for the one-off that Steve suggested or just a new idea from a leather worker.
Would the OP care to share a link to the belt?
My issue with hangers or this type of belt is when you want to move your sporran off to the side.

My first thought too. I do wear a Sam Browne as a kilt belt.
