An interesting A-2 from movie Twelve O'Clock High

[alec0226]

Found an interesting A-2 jacket in Gregory Peck's film Twelve O'Clock High, the back is not one piece.
It looks like an A-2 to me, is there an original A-2 issued in WWII like this?

Good eye, Sir ! Well spotted.

Can't explain that.

Only private purchase A2s were sometimes made with a horizontal seam. I understand the costume department made these A2s for the movie.

Another reference to custom made A2s, this time for the TV series of Twelve o'Clock High:
