Sam, I own a grouping from a 3Bn 505th Vet (Chas. J. Vobroucek)and his overcoat has a fully embroidered AA patch, tacked crudely in the 4 corners, on the left shoulder. It also has an ENGLISH made tab sewn above it as well. Of interest is the fact that the pockets were loaded with field stripped cigarettes(loose tobacco and strips of white paper).
It is also "nasty" dirty on the inside as if it had been worn a LONG time.
I can send you pics off-line if'n you'd like.
