I have read that the first WW2 chin cups of this configuration were more tannish in color and in short order more greenish in color. It seems to me yours is a WW2 transitional.

I'd be very hesitant to accept it as a WW2 cup. A WW2 era cup will have 'fat' bar tack stitches. Here is one I offered for sale a while ago but ended up keeping, this almost certainly is an unissued late WW2 cup with the fat bar tack stitch, you will find the same 'curvy' US marking font on even rarer earlier cup with the X stitch.
