Hi Jeff,
A long time ago I was affiliated somewhat with a military PAO, Public Affairs
Officer. The photo kits were like that with the nomenclature being on the order of
Kit, ptotography, still pic, 35mm. They were from different makers. I'm sure they've
gone digital now making the 35mm stuff outdated and sold.

The GSA (government services administration?) will assign government
numbers and approve the pricing for certain configurations of
equipment. It makes it so they don't have to go out for competitive
bids everytime they want to buy something. I believe the "military
surplus" is just a configuration available from a vendor. Nothing
really military about it. Most OM sets seem to be coming from the
police agencies rather than combat groups. --- others may know more
and be more accurate.
