See this back of a Trumpeter box.

AFAIK the bottom soldiers wear overalls clothing made with italian camouflaged fabric. But I do not know the origin of this overalls garments. Is it german? is it italian? ...?

Thanks.

Those are SS troops, no idea where they got their camo overalls from.

Fallschirmjäger wore smocks (I've put a link in your thread on BtS).

Methinks those cardboard cutout figures' helmets may have gone on to inspire a thing or two:
