Anyway What we see here is the full family of type 21 uniforms both the Russian style Service uniforms and the Combat/work uniforms in front. The Type 21 has two different “greens” one is woodland (left) the other is Jungle (right).
Why do this? Different climates. China is a big country and has many different climate and terrain types due its geography, the combination of topography, declination and latitudes and of course moisture. A place closer to Southern inland China like say a based located in Yannan is probably going to be greener than a base in Tibet or Jilin. So the PLA type 21 was designed with two different green dominate patterns.
