WW2/Occupation named CBI Uniform Grouping

[Persian Gulf Command]

Like to share this original named grouping of a CBI Quartermaster Soldier who later was an MP during the Occupation Duty (perhaps Germany).  It is an interesting combination of SSI's.  All the uniform items and insignia are is excellent condition w/o any mothing.  Any comments are welcome and appreciated.

Nice pick up. You might be right about Germany, for one he has a shaef patch on unless it's blue and not black felt, then it's us army in europe. The cbi patch looks German made by looking at the blue field of patch, but the shirt has a printed variety cbi patch.

I collect QM items, and this one is really interesting. I suppose back then a branch transfer like this wouldn't have been too unusual. He was probably considered excess and therefore able to shift to MP duties. But, that's just a guess. Thank you for sharing!

Definitely an interesting uniform. I guess he could also have been assigned to an MP unit filling out a role similar to his previous duties in a quartermaster unit and thus authorized to wear the MP branch insignia? 

Looks to all be nice and original, any name or ID?
