That's how Germans wore their pistols. Works much better (see William Hickock).

Well, the one guy doesn't have hat insignia...no service shirt, either. Guy handing him stuff has cuff rings that I am not familiar with but have seen...somewhere...also, is that a Jager cap?

To answer, the enlisted man is wearing a M43 tunic that he has custom tailored (either by a tailor or by himself) with a M36's bottle green collar :)

Australian ski corps.

Now I've seen everything.
Or was it a division specially formed for WWII operations in mountain areas? As in that it's not an all-time thing they got sitting around?
