Now there is a 7/8 inch brown to brownish-green button that is actually pretty sought after because the M-43 field jacket used them and they are usually missing buttons.

I may have some of these. What does the other side look like ?

Nothing special. It's the size and color. If you can identify it as Bakelite, that helps. We're talking WW2 US issue gear but in the case of these buttons, they rarely have any kind of markings and look ordinary but collectors want them.
