Dear Arditi
this kind of combination IS REAAAALLY hard to find (never seen in photo) just for few particulars:
the hbt jacket that you have used is a ''1st Pattern'' issued usually during training and really few issued in the EARLY war (North Africa and something also in Sicily but was really few).
Could be more realistic a complete set with all wool set (trousers and pants) this set (Wool set m37 / mustard) was used during all ww2, expecially starting from North Africa and all Italian Campaign and also after the dday for all GI!
About the combination of HBT jacket and wool trousers:
Remember always that the HBT was OFFICIALLY designed as ''FATIGUE UNIFORM'' so not for the combat!! but sometime they were issued also in combat (one of the most important example was during the DDAY were alot of special unit used the HBT trouser ALWAYS UPON the wool set!).
In this photo you can see one soldier with the most common 1943 model of hbt shirt and the wool m37 pant....
Remember that the photos was done few days after the dday so... all could be possible (about combination of uniforms).
In the End; is possible see this combination during the battle ? no never seen the 1st pattern hbt with m37 wool set.
ANYWAY cool manniquin! what kind of boot use the manniquin?
Best regard
Giancarlo
