Here's one of mine. This was used by a member of 3rd SFG(A) during an early OEF deployment. Note that the small pouch on the far right side is a darker green that the others. It is also constructed of a heavier material and almost appears to be waterproofed or treated. Although different in appearance the pouch appears to be original to the piece. Note that the reverse has been modified by adding a softer solid green cloth covering the entire back of the rig. The veteran indicated the ANA men had asked to borrow the rig and when they brought it back to him it had the green cloth added.
