Here's another one of those topics I love to start. This being the non standard wear of the OD on Khaki stripes on combat and field items, seen one so far, lets see more, post them as you find them as in the other topics I started with stripes.

 

First up, a Sgt of the 2nd Division in France, wears them on his HBTs.

Great picture Kev, I wish I could see a close up of that helmet.

Not on a Field Item but rather on a Wool Shirt in the States, a Officer's Chocolate Shirt no less. The GI is author James Jones when he was home on leave after being wounded on The Canal with the 25th Div.
