To my knowledge the DMC in the PDF attached is for Defence Material Catalogue and the CG for Clothing. The -99- in the NSN being for British kit. We do have -01- for American stuff for the Oshkosh, -12- for German stuff for the MAN SV's and -15- for a very select number of Italian bits for the Land Rovers in the supply system that I'm aware of.

[CG to me would indicate its either not a genuine issue article as it should say NSN]
All my genuine British shirts and jackets from mid 80’s to 1st Gulf War issue, have CG as prefix to their numbers, with none stating ‘NSN’.
It may well be genuine and as I said in the other portion of the original reply bought in on a rush to fulfil a need outside of the normal supply chain, but I've personally never had anything from any decade with CG then the NSN, only alternatives I've had to an NSN prefix are 22C or 22G.
