This sword is a good one, the quality of the mounts reflect this and the tsuka is original to the piece.

 

Possibilities are that either the Japanese officer broke it in use and replaced the kabuto gane further down or a returning British serviceman crudely removed an inch or two in order to fit it into his kit bag.
