I have that info around here somewhere but will have to go rooting for it.Bear with me.IIRC it was a company from the UK that supplied the material.leave it with me i will find out.
In the meantime here is the scan from brasseys book of camo circa 1998.Small pic of the trial dpm that was never issued.Thank god

To Quote myself..

I did three tours to Lebanon and never had any sort of Camo pattern. We used a green version of the French uniform called Franklyn's(sp) from 95 to 99 when the Irish pattern came into service.

I remember on my first trip the 77 Inf Bn seeing guys from the 76 Inf Bn wearing an American olive green uniform from the Vietnam era on trail. But no Camo.

I think you are picking me up wrong IA.I am refering to where the the material for the first issue of the portwest DPM's was sourced.Not the franklins.

The camo pattern does NOT resemble anything at all like a British Denision Para Smock either of WW2 or post WW2 vintage, you need to take basic camo schemes 101 again kid.

I my opinion, kid, you are far to young / immature to belong on this military forum, you have made some very fishy claims with nothing to back them up in various threads and in my opinion the moderators should suspend your membership until you are 18+

If C>R doesnt mind i will answer tis one.If you go to the irish military photos thread in the strictly photos and videos forum here you will find a few that myself and a few of the lads have posted over the last year.I only posted one last week of an irish officer serving with the UN wearing the new pattern.Hope that helps.

the best pics i could find:

Good photos, the colours are differant alright. The browns are darker and the base colours are differant. The French has a sandy colour and the Irish has a light green colour.
But they can blend together alittle as you can see from my photo. Only on close up can you tell them apart.

I found wearing CCE with Irish DPM not always a good idea as th CCE showed up very bright with the sandy base colour and lighter greens.

Depends too, on if the Irish Boonie hat is official issue or a civilian clone.
