For police?

Not a police Windjacke. The wind jackets for police do not have the vertical pockets shown on yours.

A search for Windjacke will show the difference.

But its not army either - so what branch should it be?

Not police and not sure who it was for. Below is a link to the police type which is well documented in period photos.

Period and until 50's mountain jacket for the civilian market .
Could have been used early in the war by OFF for example .
