Vietnam Poplin Boonie - NCHS Reproduction ?

I´m pretty sure that this is a reproduction but don´t know how the Repors from NCHS look like.

 

What makes me think of an repro is the size stamp 58, the wider mesh vent holes and the space between em (quite narrow), the bar tacks on the foliage loops and the somehow thicker fabric, so signs of former sewn in labels. Anyway, the hand embroidered CIB looks well done.

 

Since I never had an NCHS Repro in hand I thought I´d ask for some opinions. Can someone confirm this?

 

A friend bought the boonie on ebay thinking that it is an original but he does not believe me tat this is a repro.

S.W.I make repro / fantasy nam style poplin items. I have an RDF OD green poplin jacket with angled pockets like Vietnam period jackets dated 1970. The angled pockets are boxed square like RDF / BDU and not rounded like jungle fatuges.

 

The SWI stuff feature 2 tags , RDF style really long collar tag and Vietnam style with same info on located on the inside behind the hip cargo pocket.
