I just found an original 30s one similar to the one on the left, though made by Macintosh, not Bukta.

Having umpired cricket I can confirm that there are straps to hold the bowler's jumper on. On modern ones, these are loops at the hips on the outside, though I can imagine older ones having them internally. However, in this period (1950s), most umpires coats were much longer than the modern ones, about the same length as an overcoat or a trench coat, and would have more than two buttons (usually four or five), so it almost certainly isn't an umpires coat
