Michael,
I agree with you. Denims were certainly seen in wear on frontline service. My comment was based on the original intent that the denims were intended as a protective overlayer to the then-new battledress uniform.
I hope we'll see some images from those who possess examples in brown. I've seen a few very worn example that I believe to be green but with owners proclaiming them to be brown ones that faded to a strange olive-brown tone. Entirely possible as the green ones seem to fade to a muted greenish-grey.
