There are some/several things about the tunic I don't like but there are other aspects that warrant a closer look. Hard to do with the pictures we have. The insignia and shoulder board don't send me, really.

Siehe da.

As my tired eyes look at the direct comparisons, the cuff title may have a chance, although, there are many more here that are much more adept at this type of thing than I. The weave looks ok (possibly) in the blurry photo. The other insignia, no. I am more interested in the base tunic, I have to look at these things from a probability standpoint and there is further data required before I can offer an opinion. There is a slim chance from what I have seen in the photos it may be genuine, however, others on WAF have clearly stated it is all wrong. I'm not too hopeful.

Compare the cut of the tunic in question to that of these two tunics:
