Pics of Luftwaffe Blue HBT four pocket “Tropical”? Tunic

     OK, I am now able to post some pics of the tunic I had questions on.  It is an unissued HBT, and I was told it’s a Tropical Tunic.  However, it has all the features of the standard Luftwaffe HBT tunics that you see many of in the more traditional Reed Green color.  So, might it be just an initial “Light Weight” for wear in the Summer or more moderate climates  than the Wool four pocket tunics….and not necessarily a “Tropical” or rare variant.  I believe the blue was used in all these types of tunics until end of 1943 when they switched to same cut only in the green color prior to further simplification of pockets and other features in 1944?  
      I’d appreciate any thoughts on this.  Also, why is it that you never see the Trousers in this color in the Traditional Luftwaffe “Tropical”….or any other variant?  I’ve been searching for a mint pair for years….nothing.1A67221B-7D5F-4E52-91EC-44AF50636383.thumb.png.c53251593db1a43c85260dd13195abef.pngF7B1FDC7-9EDF-477F-A7EF-362A46E71ABA.thumb.png.886ef9a0ed24097313a03e8034a1d7cb.png102E6428-3D53-47DA-94F5-734B03268E10.thumb.png.446a0c7883075d110a28a3d95480abe8.png4F1F73C7-293C-4B41-AC88-52820223F540.thumb.png.ac62e11549a32cf4014d4d0276ce5daa.pngA09FECD7-B28C-4ECA-9B56-C7B61EE871A7.thumb.png.f4d3eefca6807d34a5df06728d0ebc9b.png6A4B220B-B7FD-48B0-8004-0AA590F5B6CA.thumb.png.10b6df0bc3d78938e01032f60cd8a171.pngD375DD5C-DF69-47D4-9769-F6884E31373D.thumb.png.7cb268c381f19f96b5907f48322bee67.pngCCCCD404-9BF4-4C2E-B47D-B2F26CA16B8A.thumb.png.2e3d05691e392c57ffe1b08bde4f1c88.png
