Can anyone ID the nationality, rank and unit of the individual pictured on the left?
Thanks.

Looks like a desert version of UK DPM.

Yes, it does, but I suspect this is a trick question - look at the shoulder patch.

That's what I thought. Has this uniform been worn by Canadian/Austalian/New Zealand, etc., as well though? The rank tab is covered, but any thoughts on that SSI patch?

Walmart pajamas on the left. Le Bon Marche pajamas on the right.
I think the rank would be on the tab behind the gift box.
No clue Otrwz.

Thanks, Captain Obvious! :P
You are welcome. You asked for the rank.

I thought there may have been something else on the uniform or in the photograph that may have shed light on that aspect. You'll note in my post above (Reply #3) that I indicated that the rank tab was covered.
Sorry. Only looked at the picture.

Ohhhhh...allllllriiiight. I begrudgingly accept your apology.
Well. If you are going to be that way about it! I am only half sorry.
I don't care if you "unfriended' Superman on facebook!
my gut tells me its a New Zealand patch.
its not this one but it seems to be in the same family:

Agreed. Close, but no cigar.
Yeah, definitely not Kiwi. Dutch perhaps?
This seems to be the most likely candidate...
Multinational Forces - Iraq

Some have suggested that the olive rank tab is worn by the RAF Regiment or Royal Navy Officers. I think this is as close as I'm going to get.
That's a Winged Lion of Babylon symbol.
When I first saw the picture I was thinking a Brit officer. They all tuck their cammo shirts into their pants like that.
But, then again they might not be the only country that does that.
The uniform is most likely British (the Kiwis have a very similar desert uniform). The patch is Iraq; the dude was attached to an MNCI HQ.
