Dear Peter you are painting 1st pattern uniform with the name tapes that were not on velcro (it has been adopted in the late 2000) but sewn and the color of both was green with the black letters and the NAME is on the right side (when you wear it) and US ARMY is on your heart (when you wear it)Scottie - Thanks. I can't see much improvement myself.
Greg - Thanks also. Could you help re the chest patches? Is it US Army on the left breast and surname on the right?

The Peddinghaus set I've ordered doesn't have the camo versions unfortunately. Would the above ever have been worn in a combat situation? If not, I suppose I could just leave them blank to represent the velcro patches.
this is the famous jacket of Sgt Elvis "the pelvis" Presley.. he made his military service from 1958-1960 that was the typical 50/60 uniform in the early years during the Vietnam war you can see troops wearing full color uniforms..that changed very fast..View attachment 362588
