I would wear what I had or found unless something better turned up.

Yes definitely. Jack Boots were by all accounts much more popular with the soldiers in comparison to M37 Ankle Boots and would have been worn until they were worn out. Equally I’m sure soldiers wore M40 Trousers with M37 Ankle Boots and simply gathered the non tapered legs in their Gaiters. Soldiers just made do with what they were issued, be it brand new items or refurbished older stock.

Exactly. Me110 (who denied me the screen name I wanted) sums it up perfectly.
Issue kit is not optional. For a country that was economically on its knees before they really got started, everything had a use and, certainly by the end, virtually any combination was possible.

Oh, and welcome aboard!
