I removed the rank chevrons and took some more pictures. I have to say, I actually prefer the look without the rank chevrons (the red formation patch and shoulder title stand out more this way). I don't think I am going to bother searching for correct rank chevrons. I think I will just leave the tunic as is.
Here are some updated pictures. The first couple show the tunic on its own. The last two show it with the P37 web gear. This is how I plan to display it (albeit in my study and not on the dining room table!). I still need to lightly steam it to get the wrinkles out. I don't display it with the cup, e-tool, etc. as the mannequin is backed up against the wall and you wouldn't see them anyways.
Thanks again for the advice!
