G'day Rich A
Lovely M65 that type is on the cards if I ever find one.
I think this maybe my only VN one though I'm not sure? (my manuals drawers are currently blocked off and I haven't played with them for years)
I do have lots of Aussie manuals but mostly WW2 dates.
For the trousers, you mean the lighter green type? (lighter and paler than US WW2)
That I'm not sure on, but I may have a pair? I'll pull out all of my post war lot to see later on

CISO - is that the oddly shaped Vietnam era fighting knife? If so, its beautiful. Good luck hunting one down.
The later SOG knife company had nothing to do with the Vietnam era knives, but they still have made some quality knives.

Do I see a Chris Reeve in there?
