I have some stuff at http://www.pushface.org/mil_498.html. Not so sure
about the "bootleg" part, DoD were keen that all & sundry should be
able to get their hands on it ..

That only means that DoD don't require it. The standard still exists,
and eg the UK MoD are still quite happy for people to use it. If you
want DIDs you will need to stick with 498 (or 2167A, I guess).
