Looking for US Navy Korean War era type officer BDUs

Hey all, long time no post. I'm currently involved in a play that takes place on a US ship off the coast of Korea and was wondering if anyone knew of a source for khaki officer BDUs or something that is close. We're playing two LtJGs (Fire Control Officers) and I really want it to look authentic. Are there any places that offer replicas of this type? I've been doing searches and have found great pics of what I want but no actual places to purchase. Another thing, I found a pic of a LtJG from about 1952 and aside from his hat he doesn't seem to be wearing any pins or insignia denoting his rank. Was this the norm while on active duty?

Any info appreciated,
