I remember somewhere in this forum, we talked about "myth" of Delta patterned ERDL but couldn't find it.
Among collectors, some said it doesn't exist, some said do but SUPER RARE.
I'm very curious about this particular pattern.
Few sources said that "Delta" ERDL pattern is similar to brown dominated ERDL, but it was designed for Mekong Delta environment but later adopted for Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) but with different cut of uniforms.

So my question.... Would Vietnam era Delta ERDL pattern look like RDF camo but with slanted pockets?
The reason I started this thread because I'm very interested in what other people's opinions about it.

A third variation, known as 'Delta' from an alleged use in the Mekong Delta area of South Vietnam was issued in the early 1970s, so that by the end of the Vietnam War American troops wearing camouflage combat dress had become the norm.
The USMC continued wearing the transitional ‘Delta’ ERDL pattern becoming general issue in the mid 1970s. It was to be used to equip the Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) whilst on tropical missions.
