I received this in a lot of M65's I purchased. According to my research, the first issue of 3 color Desert was 1990 with large scale issuing starting in 1992.
So I'm guessing this may be an experimental/trials jacket. Seems to be in unissued condition as well. According to one of my other collector friends, the velcro square may mean it was issued to DOD personnel.
I'm interested in what y'all think.
