They might be British comandoes. You can set that up in the mission editor.

In real life, yes. But there are only two models it can use for this: Amercian or British. Those are the only available options when creating the mission objectives.

They look like British Commandos to me - the puttees are different and that web gear looks like P37 (British) to me, although the pack looks a bit odd.

Hey Egan, how do we tell, from looking in the patrol objectives file, the difference between an American commando team and a British/ANZAC one?

I don't know whether or not there is anything that actually tells you in game, I don't remember seeing anything.

If you go through the objective .mis files for that sort of mission you will see this section:

[Objective 1]
ObjName=xxxx_Objective1
Obj=8
ObjType=0
RenownAwarded=0
ZoneName=xxxx_zone1
SOMissType=0
CNationality=0

The last line is the nationality of the Spec-ops team. 0 for US, 1 for Brit.

Ah, I thought it must be that line, but all the ones in the game are set to zero, so I didn't see any way to tell the difference.

Now, since all the game's commandos are set to '0' I can't figure out how anyone could see British commandos.

Possibly a single mission deal, perhaps. The one time I used A Brit Commando team it crashed when I let them loose and I didn't try again.
