US uniforms

A quick question regarding the jackets.

The infantry initially wore the M41 Field Jacket commonly referred to as Parsons Jacket and later the M43 Field Jacket.
The Paratroops initially wore the M42 Jump Jacket and later the M43 Jump Jacket.

Now my question.. was the infantry M43 jacket and the M43 Paratroop jacket the same jacket? My research seems to indicate this.

Yes, the M43 system was designed to be a universal cold/temperate weather combat uniform
