Wow! That's the first one I've ever seen in a collection. Is the cloth much thicker than the sniper/scout cloth? Do you have any information about years used?

Has there ever been any research done into the provenance of this pattern/uniform cut? AFAIK it's quite possibly a DDR design that was handed over to the Yugos.
