All m43s jackets are "airborne" but the trousers should have the rigger modded pockets for airborne. Hope that helps.

By the Holland jump and the move into Germany the airborne were issued and wore the M-43 as did all land forces late in the war. As mentioned by Mauser the pants worn by airborne troops differed from the M-43 field pants "legs" wore with different pocket designs and leg straps as well as additional unit modifications.
If you have a matching set af WW2 era airborne pants in a decently large size you have a marketable item there. The jackets are starting to get harder to find but are still pretty reasonable dollar wise. I've seen M-43 jackets from 10.00 to 80.00 depending on size, condition and where you find them. The cheapest being thrift shops where people don't know what they are.
