I wouldn't worry much. In May 1943, black leather work was started being issued. Althought the order to dye all leather black was issued, brown was still widely used till the end of the war.

It all depends on the scenario. I can be an arse with my group, about what is acceptable, and what is not. But again ... it all depends on the scenario.
