The Lizard pattern (also known as Leopard) was a French design derived from the WWII British camo called Denison smock. It was produced industrially with smaller brushstrokes and various tones of green, khaki & brown. Most versions have a strong horizontal orientation though some are vertical.

While it was influenced by Denison, this pattern took on a life of its own creating a whole family of variations & derivatives in countless world militaries. It’s most famous for its role as the uniform of French paratroopers in the Indochina (Vietnam) & Algerian colonial wars and later with the Portuguese in Africa when their colonial empire subjects fought wars of liberation in places like Angola and Mozambique.
