M40/41 Tunic help required.

Hi all,

I got a replacement tunic from hikishop.com, i initially got the wrong size M40 SS 5 button tunic, unfortunately when i received the right size, i noticed that this m40 tunic has 6 buttons instead of 5.

Now I decided to keep it and with hiki got a agreement and I will receive the M40 tunic with the 5 buttons.
I cannot find any reference material on M40 Tunics with 6 buttons, is it very rare for its time?

Most 6 button uniforms I can find are M36, M42 and M43... these were worn by the WH not the SS. I would like to ask for reference pictures, so I can use this M"41" tunic for a WH impression, but I have no idea who used these tunics :( my books and usual historical picture sites could not give me a answer, also via google I do not find much on these 6 buttoned m40 tunics.


I really hope you guys can help me out.
