Help with patches

Hi, I recently acquired what I assume is a Vietnam era shirt, it has no patches on it and I don’t know if it ever did, but I’ve seen identical shirts with various war patches on it. So my question is what patches would be war accurate? They usually just have the name and ARMY on the front but I’m wondering if there are any other patches that would’ve been on like the shoulders or anywhere else? Any info helps thank you :-]

Alice pack frame types

I have an lc1 frame and 2 lc2 frames. One lc2 frame looks similar to my lc1 with the horizontal beam significantly bent inwards while the one with the shelf attached curves away from the body. I picked the one without the shelf straight out of a warehouse and ran with it with no issues. I recently got this newer one with has 06 stamped on the inside that looks more comfortable with the horizontal beam perfectly flat across. Is this a new design or was the older one used to carry the goliath?
