I found answers elsewhere on the Internet, which I'll post here in case somebody else is wondering. But it should be stated that this info is UNVERIFIED (which is another reason I asked the question here)...

Voit Duck Feet were indeed issued in BUD/S (and probably Combat Dive School as well). But they were very stiff and somewhat uncomfortable then. They had squared foot pockets.

Later, they went through various changes: more flexible, rounded foot pockets, shorter, etc...

Now, they have the original molds and are the same as the ones originally issued to the military. However, they may or may not have the same stiffness - I don't know.

I think searching 'Greg Deets duck feet" will net you as close to the original as you'll get. You can also find more flexible versions, and they're generally multicolored.

I figured that. That's one thing I was hoping to verify by posting the questions here.

Thanks.
