FRENCH LIZARD CAMO

[sheffield steel]

Anyone know when the lizard pattern of Indochina or early 50s changed from smooth cotton to the HBT of the later type maybe used in Algeria. Was there a designation or type/number to reflect this change.I'm trying to identify any major changes to the lizard camo jackets and pants between these time frames/conflicts..thanks to all in advance

While Lizard camo was worn incidentally by US troops, you might find more answers on this forum's sister, the World Militaria Forum https://www.worldmilitariaforum.com/forums/ . Other options are https://frenchindochinawar.proboards.com/ and https://www.warrelics.eu/forum/ which also have a lot of info on Lizard camo.
