Hey, I don't know if this link will work, but I have questions about it.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/274761797815?hash=item3ff91450b7:g:co8AAOSwpzNgec~O

Last fall I won a Joe on the bay, only to find out when I received him
he was a Canadian Joe. It's my understanding in WWII Canadian forces
wore British uniforms.

The shirt in this auction is tagged Action Man, the pants are a different
shade of green.

Since I base my Joes as WWII (I know that the action soldier uniforms
are based on ones from the Korean conflict) I want to make my Canadian
Joe stand out as Canadian. But I don't have the budget to purchase the
1967 Joe British uniforms and equipment.

The question I'm trying to ask is, is this uniform from the WWII era?

Thank you for any info you can give me.

Daryl

The jacket is a wwii british battledress jacket, the non matching trousers are not. The ones you are after have a tab and popper.

Hopefully the below helps

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Battledress you can see the Action Man uniform is a good likeness

Halfway down this thread it shows the 1/1 scale uniform on a bed, and other peoples collections

Considering the different colors, I suspected this was some bits put together
for the auction. Especially since it's a US seller.

Thank you very much Sgt_Elias! The links you provided were very helpful!

I would like to get a vintage uniform for him, but since I'm currently unemployed
my funds are a bit tight.
