Polish army jacket (Western Allies?)

Hello!

I would like to have some opinions about a military jacket I own. I bought this some time ago in Finland where I also live. Some folks in another forum identified this model as a U.S made ww2 era battle dress. Why do I even suspect this is Polish? After some search I found out a picture of Free Polish army jacket which was very much similar compared the one I have. No epaulets and no U.S buttons.

I hope that some Polish experts could give me some help! What do you guys think?

I'm not an expert, but I think it is 90% Polish pre-war field jacket! https://dobroni.pl/artykul/przedwojenne-stopnie/573225

Although the top fastener may not match ?!

There are some similarities but I am referring to this one. I think it is 100% match (excluding insignia and buttons).
