Don’t believe that is actually a swivel, it’s some kind of military fastener.

I think Tedk nailed it.  They are hooks from USGI combat suspenders.  Here are some for sale on eBay for the M36 suspenders but I have also seen them in blued steel on the later M56 suspenders.  Note that some of them are even marked with the “W” which probably denotes the supplier.
