Help identifying an overcoat?

[CB103]

Greetings everyone. I hope I'm not being rude or anything by making this my first post, but this site came up while I was trying to identify a coat I purchased recently and it seemed like a good place to get some information.

Anyways, on to the coat. I unfortunately haven't had the chance to take pictures of my particular coat, but I did manage to find an auction of a nearly identical coat online.

The buttons on my coat are an identical pattern to those pictured in the closeup, but made of a black plastic material.

Tag reads : Overcoat, Man's Wool Serge Green
DSA100-74-C-0236
100% Wool

Thank you for your assistance!

A little bit more searching turned up this picture of a member of a WW2 reenactor group wearing the same coat. From this, it would appear that it is a 40's style (I suspect reproduction, although I could be wrong) military overcoat intended for use by U.S marines with the winter service uniform.

Anyone have any ideas on how I could figure out if it's authentic or not?

Thanks

Seems to be a '70s example of a USMC enlisted wool overcoat.
Many "modern" military overcoats carry on the mid-century style.
