This is what I found in different Books

 

There were separate uniforms for parade,inspections and combat.

Combat uniform was the Class A uniforms

but no blouse or tie. The G.I. had

only 3 type uniforms. Suntan shirt and pants for summer,

O.D.'s for winter and hbt fatigues for K.P.

or some work parties. All but the O.D.'s were left

when going to the ETO. Some mechanic types probably used hbt fatigues

but line troops used the O.D.'s. In thePhilippines we wore fatigues.

 

The Uniform coat has a Government tag inside marked "jacket Field Wool O.D. size 36S QM Depo and a lot of quarter master numbers plus the date 1944"

 

U.S. WWII 1944 Jungle Combat fatique jacket. In 1944 the Military changed the Jungle two-piece Combat Fatiques from the Camouflage issue to the #7 Dark Green harringbone twill issue.
