Heck! This is right!
I haven't noticed it, but in 1974 regulations it says that for parade walking out uniform there should be metal letters...
However, all parade uniforms for sergeants and privates from 80's had plastic letters. I don't know what do 80 and 88 regulations say, but...
Anyway - I don't think that metal letters on shirt boards would be practical. And that VV shirt shown at the top IS from 198sth (will have to check that). I understand that VV wasn't the army, but they usually used paralell-looking stuff...
