Looks LBT to me..I'm pretty certain about that (99.99999999%). LBT typically uses the tan snaps with tan items, green with green, or black with green or black. Eagle seems to use black with everything. Not sure about Eagle using only black with everything but that pouch looks LBT to me.
As fas as the tags, probably 50% of what I see in the wild and at the factory does not have tags. Most of LBT production goes to the military and the government doesn't care about the tags. Leaving off the tags saves a step in production which equals a few cents in $ savings.
Also, the SEALs in the past have specifically requested that their gear does not have tags. They don't like to leave gear on the beach or at some other extract point that says "Made in the USA" on it. That ID's the guys who left it there.
Just my 2 cents.
