The Pattern 60 DPM combat smock is the immediate predecessor of the more common Pattern 68 combat smock. It is notable for the concentric stitching on the collar, “pen pocket” on the upper right chest pocket, and pleats on lower pockets, all of which were not included in the later Pattern 68 smock. These smocks were produced between ~1960 and the early 1970’s (source: http://hmvf.co.uk/topic/24552-1960-pattern-dpm-smock-size-9/). There are no sleeve pockets on the P60 unlike later combat smocks.
