Uknown Uniform

Does anyone know what uniform this is. I am suspecting it is the Hungarian Jacket M39 with the Hungarian Trousers M35 ‘breeches style’. I secondly think that it is a first world war Austria-Hungary uniform.

Hello Patrick B ;

I think you are correct.

Typical scalloped flaps pockets, collar patch for a Corporal rank, Mannlicher bayonet 95
I secondly think that it is a first world war Austria-Hungary uniform.
Possibly it's post-WWI.

The belt is unknown same as the boots.

PS this isn't a hungarian soldier.

Austro-Hungarian collar tab. Post WWI Hungarian Army used them as well until ca. 1925.
So it's not easy to time this photo unless there are some other clues, eg. photo studio mark, etc.

This is a Croatian ww2 soldier.

I have seen on the Hungarian uniforms that they have an extension of the shoulder pads tucked underneath that this one doesn't have, such as in the hungarian m39 jacket from ww2 and the austria hungary m08 jacket jacket which it looks almost spot on to. I also can't tell what colour it is but it looks brownish greenish to me.
