+* Two additional [[digital patterns|pixelated camouflage patterns]] appeared in the August 2023 military parade. Whether these designs are related to the previous range of digital patterns from 2020 is unclear. The green design has been worn by some elite units, such as the 41st Amphibious Assault Battalion (제41상륙돌격대대종대), and probably came into service earlier in 2023.

+* The Soviet M1944 TTsMKK tricolour disprutive pattern was used for one-piece coveralls and issued to some North Korean units during the 1960s and 1970s. Although technically not a North Korean design, the uniforms appear to have been part of the KPA supply system and were issued with some degree of regularity to (mostly) units with elite status.
