Lanyards
Jack,
A good selection! Lanyard colours are tricky with manufacturer's variations and fading. I suggest your No2 is my N1 for the Intelligence Corps. Not quite 40 shades of green, but here are a few! Tim

I have 2 examples similar to 3 -A7 but mine are rather faded and I believe they are Kings Liverpool examples.
P.B.

There used to be a Green 'General Purpose' lanyard for securing the army pocket knife when wearing DPM combats. I used to have one in the 80's - Know anything about that one?
