The two legged split rivets did turn up on some cheaper leather saddles in the 50s.

Over this side of the Atlantic , the rivets are known to the better-off serious collectors as " Bifurcated"... Lovely name...just rolls of the tongue..but tends to sound quite rude when spoken by a native of Cornwall or Devon!
