Gents... opinions on this one, Heer cut wrap either than re-fitted or to be used for an SS man. Dated 1940. Thoughts?

I strongly disagree with this part of the item describtion:
"Examples of this type of usage of a Heer garment by the SS is well documented in Scott Pritchett's new book on SS Panzer Feldjacke. "
The Jacket shown in the Pritchet SS Panzer Feldjacke on page 33-37 has the 90° SS Cut on the front and a back seam like WH wraps and the example shown in the pritchett book is showing 2 quadrantshaped pockets inside (normal WH tank wraps have one quadrantshaped pocket and one rectangular pocket inside - look at the thread starter).
The wrap in the Pritchett Book is a perfect example for early war manufactured SS Tank wrap (a mix between SS and WH wrap). Similar early SS STUG wraps made by the same maker can be viewed in the Mike Beaver Vol. III Uniforms of the Waffen SS on page 768-773.
As mentioned below imo the thread starter is worth the sum of it`s parts (original WH wrap + SS insignia).
