Marine HJ photo test.

You must be a bit careful. I think the MHJ also wore squared collars and for sure, Marinehelfers wore squared collars. See photo. So you might think the photo is of a MHJ boy when it is really a Marinehelfer, you just cannot see the cufftitle.

Marinehelfers weared KM uniforms, not HJ ones. They comed from the storages of KM. The same for Küsten Artillerie marinehelfers.
 
Yes, they wore KM uniforms, but from a photo, they might be mistaken for the MHJ since they are wearing an armband--of course, a KM sailor did not have an armband. Therefore from the back (not the front), a marinehelfer would look very similar to a MHJ boy and the squared collar would be deceptive in those cases.

True sailors did not weared armband but the Marinehelfer did. In the last pic what you post seems they are wearing the marinehelfer cufftitle.
