Need Help ID Repro SS Smock

Hello fellows I need your expertise in helping me identify the following SS smock (reproduction):

http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v.../SSSmock01.jpg
http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v.../SSSmock03.jpg
http://i673.photobucket.com/albums/v.../SSSmock02.jpg

Now I have the following questions:

1. I'm hoping to do an impression on the SS troops from Saving Private Ryan's last battle. I think they wore the spring pattern SS smock, so is the above correct (identical) to the ones in the movie?

2. I see that that the smock I posted above is reversible, were the authentic ones reversible as well?

Thanks guys, please enlighten me

The real ones had that reversible fall/spring summer camo, im not sure that they are in the last fight scene, but i know i remember seeing it in the beginning when it shows that German on the MG42 on the beach looking down at the Americans...

Where did you buy this smock? Maybe its the lighting, but the summer side seems a lot darker than any I've owned.

Either way, basically any SS smock will work for an SS impression. The impression you've picked anyhow. Since the movie is based in 1944, most uniform types had already been made. Meaning, you could use a Plane Tree, Blurred Edge, Palm, Oak A, and Oak B camo smock, and still be right.

First two pics are called 'Blurred Edge' camo- alot of the troop wore that camo at the ending battle.

+ I use it, its looks awesome
