I think the Polish Desert to me looks the closest to the movie camos and I got a pair for about 99 bucks.

The way to go is frog and leaf. Save your money and buy a set.

Almost passable as marine camo for another climate or something?

Colours are nothing like the original, but there's similarities. I too have seen much worse! ;)
