Braces
This looks like the fixing in Hector Powe suits, I have just examined mine. Hector Powe braces are extremely hard to come by these days, I think you may have to sew some buttons in to the waistband.
Welcome
Welcome aboard LondonLuke. I have a number of vintage suits, from various places, but a great shop is Hornets in Kensington (http://www.hornetskensington.co.uk/). Another place worth a visit is Old Hat at Putney Bridge and their other shop which used to be Bertie Wooster in Fulham...
Suspender buttons
Most suspenders (braces), i.e. Thurston, Trafalgar, etc., come with a set of 6 buttons. Good luck! I am sure the positioning of buttons has been discussed previously, a search on suspender buttons should prove fruitful.
