U.S. overcoats were olive drab, not brown. |

The original overcoat I own does have a bit of brown to it. Greenish, but not as green as the M41 field jacket, but not as brown as what's shown in these pictures. |

Yes, the color is too brown. But it could be just lighting etc. ? |

The problem is the old color film of that era -- it tended to make things look redder than they were (thus turning olive drab to brown). |

Yes, that seems to be what happens. Maybe going to some sites online ? Or if one is fortunate enough to have some sort of museum near by. Which has an item like this and others. E.g. I know the Infantry Museum at Ft. Benning, GA, did have, IIRC an original example of almost all US ARMY uniforms from most eras/conflicts. |
