I don't think that there is any way to know based on those photos and the information provided. It is rough as a cobb for sure! I think that you will as a minimum need to know all of the markings inside to include the maker name and the depot letter and year.

If the seller is claiming that this was a feldgrau coat dyed brown or olive for N.Africa....I have never heard that they did that.

I thought as much. It is A grade junque.
There a lot of dreamer collectors out there who have no idea what they are buying.

Agreed,
Most likely it will be cut up for repro boards to be sold as originals.

Gee,

What kind of a mind would even think of such a frightful proposition?

Well, I bought that blanket coat and it will be fully restored to its original condition.

Happy New Year!
