M1941 Jacket...original?

Afternoon Gentlemen,

I am excited to be a part of this fine board. I have read many of the topics with interest. I have been, primarily, an Axis collector for many years, but I am now venturing into US WWII items. I am hoping you guys can help me please. I recently picked up a m1941 Parsons jacket, but I am now not sure of it's originality due to the reference section I perused. Could I get some opinions on this jacket please? It does not have the adjustment strap at the sides and at the cuff. No epalettes(sp?) as well. The jacket also has a strong greenish tint rather than khaki. Here are a few pics. Any opinion appreciated. I am putting a Normandy mannequin together and want originality. Many thanks for your time.

Kind Regards, Arditi

Looks like a Navy M41. As a side note, the M41 is not referred to as the Parsons jacket. That's the M1938 with flapped pockets. If you're doing a Navy Beach Battalion mannequin, it'd be correct, but not for a D-Day infantryman.
