I have the standing figure from the Warriors Jagdpanther crew set. He is hearing a jacket with a large left breast pocket. I am trying to find information on this type of jacket such as who it was issued to and what colour(s) it was. The only thing I could find referenced a reed-green wrap for SP gun crew but that doesn't look like what this guys is wearing. Also in the promo picture the uniforms look grey. Any help is appreciated.

Yes this is the reed greed denim fatigues uniform cut in the panzer wrap style, the same as DML's "Achtung Jabo !" set. It looks different because it is open. It wasn't just for SP gun crews any Wehrmacht panzer troops could wear it. Not suitable for SS though.
