Hi Kevin,
it looks great! No need for collar tabs if you are portraying anything after October 1942, and the m40 pattern coat was of course used until the end of the war.
The picture you showed is of the Hermann Goring Division rescuing art from Monte Cassino and delivering it to the Vatican (even thought the officer in charge was arrested by the Allies after the war for looting, the charge was false and he was completely exonerated after 7 months of imprisonment). Here is a link with more pictures from the same sequence:-

Even though they are wearing tropical uniform, the greatcoat is the standard blue-grey like yours, as there was no Luftwaffe tropical greatcoat. Note one soldier is wearing a Hermann Goring cuffband on his greatcoat, but most have nothing but the shoulder straps, and after April 1943 they need not have even been white piped, depending upon their branch!
