Which Apollo A7L/B spacesuits did the crews wear for the altitude chamber tests in the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building and the Countdown Demonstration Test at the pad?

Was it the flight suits or the backup suits? They looked too pristine to be the training suits.

Scott, Gordon, Young and Haise did not have red stripes on the suits they wore for the altitude chamber tests. Cernan did.

The Apollo 15, 16 and 17 prime crews had beta cloth mission patches on the suits they wore for the CDDT.

All times are CT (US)
