I know there are members that would be interested in this costume. PLEASE post any thoughts, IDs, etc. Lets identify everything. Particularly the gloves.

Looking at all my research so far, I've come to the conclusion that the uniforms were custom made for the production. Too many details are not exact to real uniforms. I've found a place that sells the correct uniform fabric and buttons, and I found a place that has sewing patterns for German uniforms. I'm probably going to alter the pattern when I get it to more closely match the film costume rather than get a repro uniform.

I'm fairly sure the tunic is a post war Swedish army tunic, suitably badged up with the "correct" insignia:
M&G >>> British Army Navy Surplus + Alpha Industries + Kids Army Camo Clothes + Cossack Hats
If that's the case, the trousers are from the same srouce.
Pouches are modified and painted post war West German Bundeswehr G3 magazine pouches.
The respirator looks like the Finnish version of the U.S M9 respirator, suitably modified and painted, looks like the version with the speaking device on it:
The gun is an Mp-40, although i'm sure you clocked that bit.

Nice looking jacket, but not even close. Compare that to the PICS of the real uniform. I still think they made it.
I've got the gas mask, pouches, East German boots, and a plastic German helmet, and hose for the backpack. Have the MP40 on my list.
This week I'm going to order some of the German patches. I'll be making my first payment to PROPSTORE for the screen used backpack tomorrow. Starting this week I'll be saving for the next 4 weeks to pay it off by the time it comes to make the 2nd payment.

Just saw on the IRON SKY facebook page for December 23 that a licensed Moontrooper mask/ helmet will be released in 2014. Would save me a lot of trouble. Only would need to attach to the screen used backpack. Everything else is military surplus which I have except for the gloves. This week is the final payment for the pack and It'll be PAID FOR. Than I can start socking money away for the mask.

This is one of the screen-used costumes, Varusteleka(A Finnish military surplus store) supplied most (if not all) of the surplus items that appeared on screen.
So the uniform is the East German dress uniform, those appear from time to time on evilbay, but the sizes tend to be small. Of course you can order them from Varusteleka too, they ship overseas. Most of the belts used in production were NVA dress belts with cast detail pieces glued to the front of the buckle. I'm pretty sure the suspenders for mounting the backpack were custom made, they don't match any surplus suspenders I've ever seen.
I was fortunate enough to get a few closer looks at the screen-used costumes when they toured conventions in Finland to promote the movie, and the pieces added to the masks looked like foam with artificial leather stretched over it. Some of the helmets (like the one Adler wore) were built so, that it was indeed a one-piece helmet, instead of a helmet and a separate mask.
Here's pictures of one of the AKM-ish nazi rifles and a pilot helmet.

THANKS. That is a GREAT help. The gloves are the last thing that need to be identified.
Found this on the internet yesterday. 
Finally PAID OFF on the screen used backpack this morning. Should be receiveing it soon.
Just reserved a screen used Moontrooper costume from the Propstore. The nice thing is it fits me. So I'll be able to wear it at a convention. Only thing missing is the East German boots (which I have) and the gas mask. I will attempt to get a screenused one at a later date if possible.
I'll be paying it off by mid July.
Any uniforms, pouches, belts, and stuff for the replica costume, as well as the screenused pack, will be sold in the not too distant future.

Just got the SCREEN USED MOONTROOPER costume yesterday Everythings in excellent condition. For those that are interested I looked at the tag on the gloves and they are made by KCL a manufacturer of gloves in Germany. Artikle 1674 which I assume is the item number. Sent an email to sales dept to get more info. They appear to be some sort of welding gloves.
Finally heard back from KCL and they NO LONGER carry that model glove as used in the film.
Hi! I know this is zombie thread and propably you have already identified that cover. But anyway.
In my opinion it´s Upovieser 488595 (old model) floor sewer cover. Made in Finland. http://www.taloon.com/upovieser-kaivonkansi-488595-vanha-malli/LVI-3316326/dp?openGroup=1110
