One of the very few things I kinda dislike about Rickenbackers is that 620s and other recent (70s and on) models come out of the factory with strap lock friendly strap buttons, but without the compatible strap locks, which makes those buttons essentially “slip off friendly” buttons.
Well, go figure. The quality and personality on these guitars do justify a lot of downsides...
haven't seen a Ric in the flesh to notice
Yes, same with my 330. I went ahead and just bought a set of straplocks and put the originals away in a baggy. I have no idea what strap lock would even fit the original.

My Ric 330 did not come with straplock friendly buttons - they were more like finger screws. I don't remember the year, but I think it's a mid-90s one.
I looked into swapping in my preferred Schallers, but at least on the neck-end one, there's no backing behind it, so I used the stock with a couple washers I found in my box o' tricks to keep it on. I've had it 15+ years with no issues there.
I've got strap locks on all but a few of my guitars that I couldn't put strap locks on. So I bought some of those rubber washers. I almost prefer them to strap locks.
