Does anyone know where buttons can be sourced like this? Cuff of M1948 Parka

Please send pics from the back and the precise diameter.
We may have NOS from ex bases in South Korea and Japan
This picture highlights the difference in colour I’m used to seeing on an M51 Parka or Field Jacket. These are the smaller liner buttons on the inside of the coat . The top neck buttons are in the brown colour , the rest are in the usual colour. Both buttons could look brownish without the comparison, especially compared to the green on M65 coats,

They aren't all that different than those used on the cuffs of the M-51 and M-65 field PARKA. Additionally, they are very similar to US Army raincoats of the same period.
If you buy anything from me in my Etsy/Bonanza/Gunbroker listings (all under "nagmashdriver") I'll send you several buttons (raincoat style in chocolate brown) for free and any others you might need, provided that I have in my scrap box.

Apologies, but shipping via courier to UK for a small price like 30 Euro for buttons became just unsane… so sorry about that.
Happy hunting.
