I won this photo on ebay resently , it shows some really unique and rare features .

The MHJ leader has the rare Marine Hitlerjugend visor cap (the cap eagle appears to be a Customs eagle) and is wearing what looks to be a "very bleached out" grey or it may actually be white HJ HBT short /closed front pattern drill blouse (I have never seen a lighter image of this pattern blouse before) with rounded end instead of pointed end leader straps and afixed metal anchor devices with 3 pips for Gefolgschaftführer.

Excellent shot of the visor in wear. I've never seen one for sale or in a collection that I personally thought was legit. The holy grail of H.J. visors.
 
The wreath is a look-a-like for the final wreath form as worn by naval-SA,
and is in some ways similar to the one as worn by German mechant navy.
The eagle indeed looks as the one for customs.

You may have missed the thread by Stonemint on WAF in 2008:

Marine-HJ Leader's Visor - Wehrmacht-Awards.com Militaria Forums

I bought that that visor from him (the one he owned, not the "variation") and would be happy to show it to you in February if you come down for a visit.

Best, John
