That is how I was trying to date the photo but extensive searching has not found the exact date when Kruschev went to the DDR.
In the book Soviet Uniforms and Insignia 1917 - 1958 they list the two uniforms side by side.
Also, they state that on 9th July 1954 under USSR Ministry of Defence order No.103, grey trousers were adopted for both Marshals and Generals. There is no mention of white trousers for the white tunic.
