Invasion m1942 reinforced jump jacket, Original or Fake? Need Help!

[David101st]

Hi,I found this m1942 reinforced jump jacket, the seller said that it is original and it belonged to a 504th veteran and above one pouch there is written the vet's name.
I would like to know your opinion about this jacket and ask if someone could tell me the way to identify a true jacket from a fake one.

In my opinion this is a fake jacket. I don't like the snap fasterners. The 82nd patch looks suspect too.

I used to own a mint unissued jacket 25 years ago, so I am familiar with these.

Cheers, Ade.
