These buckles aren't listed separately in the parts list, so no part numbers to go along with them.  They were found on the soft top straps.  Windshield tie-down & bow strap buckles may be the same type.

2 different types found.  The "anchor" stamped are made by the "North and Judd Company", who apparently went out of business shortly after WW-II.  Other manufacturer unknown.

"Anchor" stamped:
    

"Plain":
    

Side-by-side:
    

The frame of the anchor buckle is lighter gauge material, w/wider bars.  The plain is thicker, narrower, burnished & slightly shorter.
  • anchor: .080" thick x .175" wide x 1.835" long
  • plain: .125" thick x .150" wide x 1.785" long
The toothed sliders are both .050" thick
  • anchor: teeth are sharp & angled upward more.  Teeth butt up against frame crossbar
  • plain: teeth are rounded, angled less, so they slide under the crossbar
They both grab & hold the webbing equally well.

Finish:
  • anchor: phosphate conversion
  • plain: cad (or zinc) plated

For comparison, a Beachwood repro:
    

Apparently patterned after an "anchor" type buckle, but w/out the stamp, and having rounded teeth.
.080" thick x .215" wide x 2" long
