Could this be Chinese

Unlikely, most snake buckles are Victorian era European, quite often military or colonial government issue.
Great find and not a design I've seen before.

I thought with the chrysanthemum flower on it it may be Chinese

Nice one, Nightjar.

What an unlikely find here in Australia - a US Civil War relic!
