Since I don't have a the Eduard Profipack which includes the seatbelts, are there any supersonic experimental plane seatbelts in 1/48 scale?

If not, does anybody have good photos of this particular plane's seatbelts?

Appreciate for any help.

Looking at the profipack kit on Eduard's website, the seat harness looks similar to those found on WW2 US aircraft.
Take a look at the instructions PDF too, the illustration of the PE fret allows for a great level of zooming to help in looking for fitting seatbelts.

Here's two photos of an X-1 museum plane at the National Air and Space Museum:
