hi,
HerringBone Twill=HBT was a type of cloth that fatigue or work uniforms were made of. The cloth had a contiuious chevron shaped pattern woven in it.

at the beginning of the war the US army shifted from the blue denim work fatigues to HBT clothes - still in the early years of war "blue jeans" could have been seen serving in training units in US homeland ...

is this one the one i would use for most soldiers then

UA422 - Wool Olive Drab m1943 - Jacket, Trousers

kkep in mind that during WW2 garment was produced all over the USA - due to the and due to the different stages of use there where a large number of variations in the colour tones ...

it would look rather more realistic than giving your figures slightly different shades than using exakt the same colour for each ...
