Tom, the interesting part is that he's got accurate historical information to copy; maybe bought the original records or something. The patches were made last week though, and he's not disclosing that.
Look at #2 - it's a pre-Croc copy, to include an error actually made on the original patch: RAMED instead of ARMED. Also, it's ALLIGATOR instead of CROCODILE, and the character seems to be holding a shotgun, which suggests 25th ID SHOTGUN detachment, possibly. One of our B-model guys maybe can supply some detail about the timeline.
Guy's still a weasel.
