Thx, but I want to keep them original...no repros.
Found a set in Germany but in bad condition.
Will post scans as soon as I have them...to show the difference with the ( not the best) repros.
Thx anyway for your support and assistance

Didn't realize you were looking for originals. I've had better luck sourcing such things from Australia, there are a couple guys there who have the knack of scrounging up almost anything.

You didn't mention in your OP whether your original blouse is green or brown. The Dunkirk denims would have been the original brown denims. The green color came along ~1941 and the blouse itself going to the economy pattern (no pocket pleats, etc) in 1942.

Other than color change, there was only minimal improvements to trousers throughout its life (used well into the 1960s)
