Interestingly he is wearing a two piece herringbone twill (HBT) camouflage which was used by marines in the pacific, but was quickly abandoned in the European theater because of the similarity to the uniform of the SS.

context_section_description: The M1942 Frog Skin pattern was the United States military's first attempt at disruptive coloration camouflage. In 1942, the Marine Raiders were the first issued the Frog Skin uniform, which was reversible with a five-color jungle pattern on a green background on one side and a three-color beach pattern with a tan background on the other side.
