Agreed. I'm not 100% sure on the camo pattern, and even if I'm right, it could be Czech gear in Iraqi hands, too. I've seen a few posts here and there indicating that the ACR is surplussing off a buttload of vz.58s and 7.62x39mm to Iraq as an excuse to go ahead and buy new NATO-spec small arms. If that's true, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see them donating uniforms and other hardware. Their drawdown over the last two decades has left rather a lot of equipment rusting and rotting in warehouses.
