*The two types of shoulder pauldrons of the BDU are identical to either the shoulders of the [[GUNGNIR]] variant ([[Halo: Reach Beta|formerly]] EOD) of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|MJOLNIR Mark V Armor]], or the Base Security variant.
*The helmet also has an identical shape to that of the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/MP variant|Military Police helmet]] variant of the MJOLNIR Mark V Armor.
