Bargain original M422a? Or repro?

The listing takes me to a Class A tunic not an M422a leather. FWIW, the tunic appears to be a genuine Officer's tunic. If you zoom in on the sleeve where the cadet patch has been added (which also appears to be genuine) you can see where the bevo weave has been removed from the sleeves. The place where the weave was is highly noticeable. The collar devices also appear to be genuine. That being said, the removal of the bevo on the sleeves makes one wonder if the QM handed it to an enlisted man because he didn't have an enlisted tunic available. This would make the collar devices inappropriate however.

The wierdness of ebay.......
It takes me to a M422 now too. The collar doesn't look quite right but the rest of the jacket seems spot on.
