Strichtarn gas mask bag

Guten Tag zusammen! I'm visiting this page due to my (unique?) strichtarn accessory wich is a gas mask in the common NVA pattern and mostly because I'm still quite of a rookie in reconstructions. My first full body wich I decided to do is a regular Schütze. At the moment, I have a jacket, trousers, suspenders with a belt and that bag, although everytime I see a profile of a regular soldier it's with a grey rubbery one. I've read that camouflage bag is really rare and barely seen, never really widely issued. So my question is; would it be a problem to use it for the profile? And how rare it actually is, because to some sites it's almost a unicorn like. Is the one I have even real???

(I got it from my uncle, who was not part of the NVA, although was a conscript of the Warsaw Pact)

I have (more or less accurately) replicated this Kasernenausweis in Photoshop

I actually only had this example to go off of.
I have never seen one before either; I do not know if that was actually something soldiers received.
Online research provided little to no help in these regards.

Still: If its something of interest I can provide the pdf files to print for yourself or the photoshop files for yourself to edit.
