Was there ever a variant of the above for desert or mountainous regions? I'm familiar with the greeny-tan variants seen in NWE and the Eastern Front, but I am wondering if there were any other variants.

None that I've seen. The last variant being produced was Leibermuster in 1945 but was issued on a very limited basis to combat units before the war ended. Also, the only Camo listed for use by both Heer & SS combat units.

VonBlucher has it. As far as I am aware, the only camouflage worn in the desert was that of the Fallschirmjager in Brigade Ramcke in North Africa and that was not specifically designed. I suppose the closest to desert camouflage was the faded hot weather uniforms of the DAK itself.

Thanks chaps. I was sort of wondering if the apparent reversibility gave a different scheme on either side but I guess not.

Check out the Herman Goering Division, they apparently wore desert uniforms with camo smocks (looks like spring and fall oak leaf pattern) in Tunisia, Sicily, and Italy.

V/R,

4th Cuirassier, the smocks were generally speaking reversible but it was usually an spring/autumn sort of combo for European terrain.
