Vietnam Era Patch Jacket... What do I have?

Only thing in the antique store that wasn't priced at 4x retail. It LOOKS like all the patches are 60s vintage... I've looked up some of the units, etc., but wondered if any were theater made or particularly rare. I have never had one, but am sort of hoping I can make a profit and pay for the camping trip that lead to the antiquing! Money's been tight this summer. More detailed pictures to follow.

More art... The moon. THere's also some kind of building in the middle of the jacket but patches sort of obscure it.

Anyways, if anybody knows the unit ID on the ones that don't flat out say it, I'd appreciate it. I did some minor googling yesterday and think at least one is Filipino made, as the unit was stationed there.

 

I'd sure like to know if any are theater made, or if anybody has any other insight into it.

 

Oddest thing is that the jacket is a USMC P58. I almost wonder if some dude was a Marine doing security at USAF bases and scored patches for his little brother or something.

Posted it on the What's it Worth... Found a few, but I am especially curious about patches 2, 10, 12, and 15 as they are just different enough that they don't look "standard" to me.
