The only time the chest box is EVER seen in any of the movies is in ROTJ ( unused ANH footage) and there is a grey hose comming out of the left side of the box ( among other differences from the comon costuming style of the chest box)

I think those are the WW II german boots. I got those from mike also. I have been going back and forth on painting the gunmetal detail on the helmet.
