Default Pic

I could be wrong, but to my eye the photograph looks very much like WW2 colour.

The shallow depth of field is typical of the very slow emulsions of the period - colour reversal film was around 12 ASA at the time which was incredibly slow meaning the lens was wide open.

It also has the classic 'look' in terms of the colour dynamics. I know this can be emulated in modern digital manipulation, but it fits well with the period pics.

The clincher for me is it would have been rather unlikely for the camouflage colours to have remained fresh with more than 60 years exposure to the sun's damaging UV light.
