Good looking figures, thanks for the review!

What is the one-piece overall? Not familiar with it, only have seen on color templates and other figures.

Best regards

The figure with the G43 is wearing mixed pouches because the G43 pouches contain magazines, the leather pouches contain clips to reload the magazines. It is not unusual to see this combination in photos, which would seem to suggest the pouches for the G43 weren't issued in pairs. Nice figures. It is good to see some of the more unusual Waffen SS clothing depicted. The MP44 equipped figure seems to lack the support strap for the mgazine pouches which passed around the small of the back and linked the pouches, to help support the weight and prevent them from falling forwards as they were otherwise prone to do.
The Winter Coveralls are most famously modelled by "Panzermeyer" in Kharkov.

As usual these are really nice figures worth looking into. Possibly sculpting them with more frayed pant cuffs would be a nice touch.

Like Engin wrote, the coverall figure is based mostly on a series of shots showing an assembly o 20. Waffen SS Pz.grenadier Division (estonian no 1) somewhere around winter 1944. I also managed to find some other photos of coveralls with fur hoods, like a shot of Gustav Knittel.
