I recently bought a set of very hard to find set of Naval Special Warfare/DEVGRU (Seal Team VI) exclusive desert camouflage, this set was made on Contract for the Navy by Crye Precision (The same people that brought you Multicam). London Bridge Trading, Blackhawk, Eagle Industries, Arc'teryx, Crye Precision and a few others are the main manufacturers for AOR1 on contract with NSW.
There are 2 different types of AOR (Area of Responsibility) camouflage, AOR1, which is Desert camouflage, and AOR2, which is Woodland. Now just to make things more confusing, AOR1 is also known as Digi2 or NWU II, and AOR2 is known as Digi1 or NWU III.
Just as a reminder, THIS IS NOT DESERT MARPAT, it is its own similar, yet distinctive camouflage
AOR1 Sample
Another sample of AOR1
A Sample of Desert MARPAT, the difference is more noticeable in real life.

AOR2 seems to be exclusive to NSW and will stay that way, while AOR2 will be issued as Organizational Gear Navy wide in the future.
AOR2 has been about for a year or so, but is just now starting to make its rounds to a large amount of people, but NSW is a force unto itself, so gear is not standardized.
This is the shirt I received, it is a special version of version of the Crye combat shirt.
It has slanted pockets covered with velcro on the sleeves
it has a distinctive closure system, both buttons and velcro. I havent seen anything like that before, its pretty nifty.
The chest pockets are slanted outboard to facilitate easy access even when worn under Body Armor.
This shirt also has a Mandarin collar.
These are the pants, again, these are a variation of the Crye Field pants with some modifications.
It has an external Velcro closed knee pad pouch for the Crye knee pads
it has external pockets on the outside of the shins.
The Crye cargo pockets are pretty standard for them
It has 2 small pockets on either leg under the slash pockets but above the cargo pockets, they dont have a cover, they are perfect for carrying a folding knife.
This is the layout of the pockets
It has very interesting belt loops, they have integrated loops for tying in gear.
It has 2 rear velcro closed pockets.
This is the boonie, its pretty standard fare except the camo daisy chains around the brim. It has NO markings inside except the size tag.
Here are some pictures of it in use
