      Apparently, it moved from Korea to Okinawa shortly after the end of the war in Korea.

      Sigsaye, Thanks again, I can see where the tag was removed, thus no confirmation of when the item was made.  But I am good with the bracket of years the style was generally used.   Paul70, Thanks for weighing in.  Both the 4 pocket coat and trouser have the same style tag and both previously issued to Vandervoort.  Since most of these uniforms appear to be late war or post war made of that era pattern, is why the seller said they were all WWII.  At this point my limited search for Victors, says he was USNR from 1960 to 62, my understanding is, a reservist of that time could easily have been issued these or garnered them from another sailor.   Due to the less than stellar condition of the khaki 4 pock and the choker white coat, my plan is to follow a drawing from the 1959 USN uniform reg (found since I started this post).  That being the officer wearing; khaki visor hat and work shirt w/ pin on collar rank, dungarees with black belt, and black boondockers (will need to source them) as those pieces are serviceable.   Cheers, Armygas

      Top two I think are both German occupation made ( lot of confusion around British & German made on nearly every site I go to) and these, I’m not completely sure are British made versions. But please correct me if wrong, there was a discussion going on on the US militaria forum on Facebook🤷‍♂️ here’s my take.  First 4 pics below are German made front and backs.    then last are British made🤷‍♂️?
