Agree with Justin, probably something that was locally tailored.

If you look, it doesn't really match the ERDL pattern

Just to add this, the most familiar first sighting of the cover in significant numbers, the Mayaguez incident in May 1975. The curious thing about this is even within the Army these covers are not too prevent throughout the remainder of the 70s, less so within the Marine Corps. Even when I was in in 80-82, the old leaf pattern was still issued out in fair numbers Army Wide.
