My understanding...

I'll post photos when I get home for you to better illustrate this process.
This is my understanding of the intended use of the loops by the military...back when they would have hung their kilt on a wooden peg.
...and for the post OP...I can almost guarantee that none of the kilts in that photo you've posted are MOD kilts (The ones that you can see tags on all appear to be made by Chalmers of Oban...it appears that HRH is a loyal customer). I am pretty sure you already knew that and you were just using the pic as an example. Incidentally...this is one of the favorite pics that I've harvested off this site! It has been my desktop wallpaper a time or two.
