Wow excellent painting job on the para.
The lizard camo is spot on.
I have a figure from the same brand (Shota shahib?) , but a Legion para during Kolvezi intervention in 1978.
The figures are 1/32 and the brand had a few great products (if my memory is good the Vietnam special forces figure (with a riot gun) i did 30 years ago.

Chota Sahib is the brand. Sculpted by Sid Horton I believe. He did several Legion Paras. These were some of the best of their day in the early 1980s.
And I have the Vietnam SF figure. That was sculpted by Kevin Lyles, the illustrator of several Osprey books. I think itā€™s the only figure he ever sculpted!
