M-1951 help needed

Hello, I need your help to date this M-1951 field coat.
I really love the M43, M-1951 and M65s. I received the jacket today. It is in a not so bad shape, some missing snaps, some small paint spots, a repair and fraying in the collar.
I know the label is faded and difficult to read. I guess 6425 OI-828-C-56.
Can someone tell me the date of the coat?
Thanks in advance.

Well...since it says 1955 on the stamp...I'll take the jacket's word for it.

But this could be the "PATTERN DATE"

The stamp say's October 1955, then a QM amendment of January 1955... Hmmm,bit a mystery this one...hang on to it though, these are an absolute classic....

BTW- Your Avatar- RUIZ,I've got an M-65 named to a RUIZ....any relation to you

Id say October 1955

I think January and October 1955 are pattern dates
OI-828-C-56 Does this code has something concerning to date?

My surname is RUIZ. I have no relation to this M65, me and my family (as far as I know) are 100% Iberian Peninsula.
I would love to see this M65!

No worries Mate..check out the USAF section..I posted it over the weekend

Another question about another M-1951 field coat.
The coat has the thread marks from the insignia in the arms.
E-2 private rank in both arms, and a hexagonal patch with square lower angles in the left arm, I think this is a 2nd Army patch.
Can you show me the correct patches for the 50s/60s era?
The jacket has a white name tape with black printed letters.
Here is a diagram with the measures.
