I thought Jean Rousseau was the supplier but my 2 Langes are from 2023...so no I am curious as to who made their straps 3 years prior to mine if it was a different supplier.

My dislike has nothing to do with Camille Fournet or the quality of the strap. I just don't like the change to (1) the padding profile and (2) the finish. The rectangular padding profile really bothers me -- how the padding steeply drops off on the sides,... 

I’ve had a couple made by Jean Rousseau and think they’re great.

Could be...I am not sure. I know my custom was JR. My stock strap is pictured above.
