The one you say that the Astra fits looks an awful lot like a Radom holster, but I'm assuming that it is too tight at the muzzle. It also looks like some sort of a rework as evidenced by the other stitch holes in the flap.

Try a 1922 Browning in bottom left.

Have you tried examining these under ultraviolet light? Sometimes faded inks will show up under UV.
