Well, as an ex Australian infantryman, I can say it's almost always different. Of course there's the base uniform, boots, webbing and weapon, but after that it's pretty much up to the mission requirements and desires of the commanders.
It also comes down to the skills and abilities of individual soldiers somewhat - a soldier who consistantly scores well on the rifle range might find themselves issued with a night sight for their weapon, while one six foot tall and the same across the shoulders is likely to end up with a lot more than the scrawny five foot weed assigned as section (squad) scout.
