Not a set of M1951 OD on Blue Stripes as we see, but rather the WWII era OD on Khaki as worn here by this 1st Shirt in the Reserves 76th Training Division in Connecticut in 1961-62, a 1st Sergeant Dempsey. WWII 3rd Armored Division Vet. These OD on Khaki types along with the WWII era Silver/White on Black Twill or Rayon Woven types were worn on Khaki Shirts and EM Khaki coats along side the OD on Blue Twill type throughout the 50s, and as we see just like the OD on Twills were and could be seen worn still a bit after 1958 when they should of been upgrade to the new Yellow on AG 44 types as seen being worn the Sergeant First Class or Staff Sergeant in the foreground.
