Okay, this one is far from perfect, and it is not WW2 either, but I will improve it as soon as I can find the correct Y-straps for my Wachtmeister i. BGS (im Bundesgrenzschutz).
Multi Terrain Pattern, already more than 10 years in service.
DPM heritage can be seen in the Muti Terrain one, enjoy.
I wanted a fully dress mannequin, so for now the pants are not MTP.
If anyone know their origin please let me know. Thanks.
My Wachtmeister i. BGS has evolved somewhat - I still haven't found the correct Y-straps, but I do think it now looks a bit more like it.
My first contribution to this thread. Only got the one mannequin, but he changes sides and travels through time frequently! In this case, here he is representing Pilot Officer A. Douglas of the Air Training Corps. The uniform and cap belonged to him, while the 25 Pattern webbing and binoculars are additions.

"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thank you! It’s taken a lot of time and money, but it was worth every bit of it. I’ve got a couple more photos of this mannequin dressed up in British and German uniform. I’ll post them here later tonight.

Try searching the small ad sites in Germany (German eBay also). I was able to find quite a bit of my BGS stuff that way and most of it came from BGS veterans. More often than not it tends to be in very good condition too.
I have checked my "spares box" but unfortunately I don't have any spare 'Y' straps but I will bear you in mind if I see any.
Regards
