I doubt it.
The early ones like the one Grant has are to totally unique. The seal sheepkin panels were over dyed redskin underneath.
They were time worn by Gary himself. Only a very small number were made like this.

The one I am wearing is the early house version. It has the double strap collar closure ,Talon not Hookless zip, none pleated pocket, very heavy horsehide.
Quite different !
Both are great jackets.

Another great thread!
Can anyone please describe, if there is any, the fit difference between and A-1 and an A-2 type jacket?

The sleeve openings (possibly the knits used too) on my ELC A-1 in fact feel slimmer than the A-2s I've tried across the makers. Perhaps some of the early/pre-war A-2 contracts share this in common with it; wouldn't know.
But most notable is the use of cape vs. horse. It's a completely different jacket. Think marshmallows vs. saltwater taffy.
