What are those insignia on the front left ? Italian marine ?

I would love to see morte detailed pics - I can see something like a few small holes...

To be honest, it looks like a fake to me! Why is the inner part so white still? The two originals I've had in my hands had the white part painted and, of course, after 70 years, the paint was nearly all gone. By the other side, an xl size is very difficult to find in all original uniforms.
