old school thought has always been (for military) - black was army - brown was air force

some folks believe it just depended on where purchased

Your holster is what collectors refer to as a "Norwegian Capture."

As for your question to color. The color of the holster has nothing to do with what branch the holster was issued to.
I don't know where this myth was started, but it's pure fantasy. Wartime photos/film verify this.
