Ah yes.But here's the rub.All the overseas specific items(J4 issues) are now on the national issue scale.
Saves on admin when you have to send troops overseas.The individual will get kit inspected during phase one form up(unit level admin) and be re-issued anything they are diffy."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

So when do you get issued with the UN whites, the foster grant sunglasses and the green wellies.
As well as the suit cover.Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

We got issued White UN shorts and bush green shorts. With the hush puppy shoes they were really comfortable , but The bush greens were the best overseas uniform ever.Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
