It’s hard to identify what he got, as the uniforms were a bit different but probably the wool uniform jacket and pants were the basic Polish uniform (or parade one if he got one). “Pilotka” cap is a “pilotka” cap (called “furażerka” in Polish)and wool visor cap is probably the Polish field square cap called “rogatywka” or “konfederatka”. Ushanka is what it seems to be, same for rain cape, overcoat and raincape-shelter half. There’s more problem with M35 gimnasterka – the soldiers of the division were first issued slightly modified EM M43 gimnasterka which would fit June 1943, but since he got aother one in may 1944 it’s probably another uniform jacket he got for field use.
The fact that he was issud breeches at the same dates seems to confirm that. He also got 2 sets of underwear, twice summer foot wraps and 3 times summer socks.
He also got 2 towels in 1943 and another one in 1944. Received parade and field high boots, woolen underhelmet, sweater, fur vest and padded pants.
