No not really they are allowed to use different gear and such in many vids and stuff you can find soldiers with different gear and uniforms. But they test different helmets as fas as I know.

Actually he is from a unit called the TMBN /Telemarks Battalion)

they are all professional soldiers, not a single conscript guy among them, they have been issued a new helmet, but the ACOG was purchased either by the commanding officer down there or by the soldier himself

it is however true that that image keeps popping up here :p

The easiest pic to find then I know there are more, but I dont think most people want to use hours on going trough the media archive to the military or go trough militaryphotos forums or private photoalbums.
