I would say this is post Vietnam it’s the same pattern long sleeve khaki shirt Marines wear now. Someone might be able to run that contract number and get you a date.

I would agree with it being post-Vietnam. Contract date is 1975, which differs from a manufacture date. This means it likely hit the supply chain after the the Fall of Saigon.

A nice USMC shirt, nonetheless!

08 is correct,
Not sure, But doesn't the DSA# "75" mean the year???
