Panama National police uniforms WW2?

Has anyone found any photos of the Panamanian police WW2?The only description i have been given mentions-

US uniforms with campaign hat and leather puttees. I think this was from a book called "Identification" by J W Bunkley (1942or3). Not too sure if the tunic would be the M1912/WW1 type or later one with open collar. as for the puttees could this mean gaiters/leggings?

regards Pat.

This illustration is taken from the description in Blakeslee's book on police uniforms, and a contemporary photograph.

'Putties' were leather gaiters, worn by the junior ranks.

I assume the chevron was a mark of rank? Do you happen to know the whole rank insignia system?

Sean ,thankyou for posting that excellent illustration, regards Pat.

Great illustration Sean, but having a problem ,would like to print it off but cannot get it to appear on print preview ,anyone else having this problem? Ranjit.

can't get anything to appear on print preview using a pc at my local library,Pat.

Chris, if you go to the "International Uniform Insignia" website go to Panama/police , and you will see this chevron indicates a private 1st class. The nco chevrons are of US style, which isn't much of a surprise and the officers have bars. Pat.
