Both sculpts have positioned the holster in the same place, which makes me think that it might be an accurate depiction. My thought was that it might actually have more to do with his sword. In order to draw his sword he would need to pull it across his body - just not physically possibly to draw a sword straight up. In which case did his holster end up where it was through necessity? I spent a couple of minutes imaging this in front of a mirror, to the hilarity of the Saintly Mrs. Awdry, but I think I might be on to something.
