Poorly colorized B&W photo. Those jackets were all varying shades of brown.
Black A-2s were not a thing. Some of the depot re-dyes were VERY dark brown, to the point where they were almost black, but you could still tell they were brown if you compared them to actual black leather.

Yeah, that's pretty bad.
I agree, Seal brown can look almost black but it isn't, the documentary the cold blue they're every colour from red russet to dark seal but not black as such

Hi folks,
An effect like the one indicated via the initial picture is in fact related to the poorly colorizing of the b&w picture. However, as I remember, slide films from the '40s/'50s like Kodachrome can give that color, where seal-brown looks almost black. In certain conditions even lovely Velvia 50 can give this color saturation.
