M1902 khaki service cap?

[Retired Army Noncom]

I have seen these caps with side buttons in brass and darkened brass, which one is properly used or would both be used for US or NG? I have also seen these in both in khaki canvas and khaki wool.  I have read about only the canvas ones being mentioned but have seen these both with brass and darkened brass side buttons also. Anyone have a good clarification for these caps?

 

Thanks

Here is one in khaki canvas with brass side buttons and is NG.

 

 

Here is one in wool with darkened buttons

I came across a claim that the brass was used for garrison duty and the other for field duty, I find that rather far fetched!!!

All sorts of 'claims' out there. The OD wool and khaki canvas service caps specified, and used, the bronzed eagle buttons. This was also the uniform regs.

I have one of these caps but its an officers and the wool seems much rougher but it looks correct.
