I like the Bren gunner, but the facial expression on the crouching figure just ruins it for me, but I guess could always replace the head. What were they thinking with that facial expression?

I can't figure out what kind of jacket or tunic the squatting figure is wearing.

It looks like it has knitted cuffs and waistband like the US Cold Weather Jacket (i.e. "Tanker's Jacket", but the collar doesn't fit that. I don't think he's wearing a sweater under the usual Brit Battledress tunic - there's no evidence of the tunic cuffs if that were the case.

Also, the area defined inside of the lanyard is painted as if it's a totally different item of clothing to the rest of his jacket, but there's no indication under the edges of the lanyard that there are two different clothing items (i.e. no open edges of a jacket front).

What am I missing here?

Here is what author said about it on another website:

"The officer has army pullover, it had special holes for the officers shirt's shoulder-straps to make the rank visible."

I'm not into WW2 and I have no idea what all this means, so please don't shoot the messenger.

Didn't the pull-over sweater have added patches at the shoulders and elbows?
