After posting the Texunion drawing on the WW II sub-forum in that questionable smock thread, I might as well do the same here. Reviving this 10 year old thread with my nearly 10 year old collage, including a comparative look at the color-ways, of which there were at least three:
(A) a brown-dominant version seen in that well-known photo, (B) a green-dominant version (the very nice coat that started this thread is of this type, as is the enigmatic smock, though the colors on the coat are not as brightly saturated as those on the smock), and (C) the "sparse" version.
With select elements circled out, it should be easy to see how the colors are swapped to achieve these variations - a practice again carried over from the German antecedents.
