Earlier. As early as 1940. He is wearing the first issue, one piece green "step through" smock, which gave way to the later cammo smocks with snaps at the legs that were much easier to get into.

I didn't know they wore the holster belt so high above the waist.

Makes it easier to sit down with all that "stuff" on and in the belt!
