Is this koshirae put together for WW2? Expediency mounts?

This koshirae consists of a plain iron tsuba, decent copper fuchi and menuki, and horn kashira. Has one copper seppa on the fuchi side of the tsuba that seems to match the fuchi and an aluminum? German silver? seppa on the habaki side. Habaki is a gold washed copper.

 

Is this a civilian mount? Older? Newer?

 

Thanks for any answers or leads.

As far as the photos allow to see, the FUCHI is new (industrial/IAITO) as well as the HABAKI. Aluminium SEPPA are not used. Looks like new civilian/sport mount or put together. 
To make a better assessment, we need all parts disassembled and shot in close-up.
