Talon Slider

These are the only photos I have of a zipper slider about which I’m curious. This is on a bank bag a friend has. Would this be the same slider used on mid/late 1930’s A-2 jackets, paired with a hookless zipper? Also, would this slider have come in different sizes (eg an A-2 slider would be different than a 12”x12” bank bag zipper slider)? The Hookless iterations are really confusing to me.

Thanks very much; I’ve actually got that chart on my phone and had referenced it to date the slider. My apologies if my question was vague. What I’d like to know is if this particular slider would’ve been used Govt issue A-2s of the period such as the Weber 1729, ACT 3061P etc. I see different tab connections and such; it’s too much for my pea brain.
