My guess would be that it is for the post-war German Service Organisation (GSO) that existed in the British occupation zone. BAOR is the British Army of the Rhine.
Thank you wondered what the GSO was
A little strange as the 1951 issue greatcoat only had 5 pairs of buttons and in one photo the colour looks nearer to field grey, maybe because the BAOR were a permanent fixture in West Germany they sourced things through local suppliers?..
Hi Gunny the coat is a darker Green colour
Yes most likely as it has German type buttons and looks German made
