(British) Royal Navy oilskin coat question

This is a question about the ultimate "Anti-Classic". The Royal Navy used to issue a black plastic waterproof "oilskin" to deck crews. I have one sitting here but it seems to have two half sets of buttons on it, half black & half "tortoiseshell". These are not a stylish garment by any means but are definitely waterproof & I would like to get it "right". Anyone able to describe the correct buttons or better still point me at a picture ? My google-fu is weak this morning.
