    Looks like these where made out of pre S95 material maybe during or after as surplus material the black in the para smock has really bled out no tag on the SAS smock.

    RADAR smocks maybe ? Certainly can't see the material being surplus as I've never seen issue DPM fade quite like that. Especially the black. Also zipper on para smock looks pretty much like the rubbish they use nowadays.

    There are at least 4 shades of camo and prints in the s94. They were printed from a very dark modern print DPM to a very light 60's print but all were printed in same time.
