YEs, several of us do US infantry

Those are a good base, the gaitors (or leggings as they are known) will cover up the Corcorans (as you said you already have those), the HBTs are a decent starting layer under the M41 Jacket and the helmet will finish it off. It is pretty much the basic infantry impression.
