I was doing some research on the 1st airborne task force and i saw some archival footage of a paratrooper wearing a m1943 with painted camo in the 517th First Airborne Task Force, US Forces, before Dragoon Jump. You can see it around 0:44 seconds Click Here for this Rare footage www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax5Mt6X5Vd4

Hello,
Yes members of the 517th PRCT wore M43s (and M42s) during operation Dragoon. The 509th used only M42s, not 100% sure about the 551st. All the above units camouflaged their jump suits.
