I have question about the blokes in camouflage uniforms. Says on the clip Engineers.

I have never seen pictures of US Army in New Guinea wearing such uniforms. No Marines were anywhere near these operations.

Anyone with a clue?

PS Found some info saying they were issued as early as 1942 but still have to find any photos of them being worn by the US Army in New Guinea. They were issued in Europe but after a number of friendly fire incidents confusing them with German camouflage they were withdrawn.
