I know the Iraqi Army, post Hussien, used US chocolate chip uniforms that had a green dye through them to distinguish them.

BG ive not heard of us m1's used by saudi's, i believe they used m1 clones though and yes your right they used the autumn pattern mitchell covers as well as the cookie dough pattern ,here's my example's from a few years back i used us m1's at the time as it was all i had

James C , nice display with the cookie dough pattern cover M1 with a gas mask
the surplus store has a large back pack cover / spare tire cover made of the same Chocolate Chip / cookie dough camo
for $5 , I think I might buy it and cut it up to make a helmet cover

great idea BG i dont see why not ,im sure some examples were done in this manner ,you could use a usmc m1 cover for a pattern ,i know they produced these covers in 2 parts and 3 parts ,i think for a better finish you would have to do it this way ,it would look to untidy as a flat piece of material shaped over an m1 ,if you do purchase post some pictures of the results ,i know its easy to say but if i had a spare one i would gladly sent it over the pond to you ,but alas i dont ,sorry james

nick this display you show has always been one of my favorites ,i think it inspired me to try and get hold of one of these elusive covers

as i was inspired to seek one of these out by another forum member myself when they showed one on the forum

Great topic, and examples shown guy's.
I have yet to discover any real evidence these were worn by Saudi's,but here's mine all the same, I have managed to gather a few of these covers over the years, some I have traded, some on display,but all of my examples have no markings or stamps!!!
