Because the government basically supports the booming fake ID industry, many former Iraqi army members fled to Syria and returned and also its money roots in Syria, and an obvious desire for Iraqis to say they just didn't kill their own, I still find your case lacking

Anecdotes do not make a case for overall statistics in a country, that is simple logic

It is no secret that Iraqi Sunnnis use Syria to hide and channel resources, so why wouldn't they pick up Syrian body armor as well?

if iraqi soldiers (all shia) declare some one syrian and the people (all sunni) say they are Syrian as well, I would tend to believe they are syrian.
