Bizare DPM Colour Variations

I am the worst offender for not posting piccies......:D

 

Now, excluding tropical DPM.....can we perhaps have some shots or descriptions of DPM temperate clothing that you may have/have seen that are in some extreme colour shades...???

 

During the early 1980's, one guy in my unit was issued with a late-pattern 68 smock where the brown & green colours were very dark, but the base colour (the khaki) was very pale, almost magnolia in colour..........another guy had a smock where the base colour was almost yellow........and another few guys had smocks issued where the brown was a very red tint...........

 

It's often thought that the biggest shade variations affected early DPM fabric...but in my experience this persisted into the 1980's.......it was like train spotting, without the anorak, notebook and sandwich box....:-)
